30 Minute Chicken - Brilliant

In summary, this recipe was easy to follow and produced a delicious chicken. The only change I would make is to add back in some of the paprika that was lost when I substituted the Moroccan rub for the paprika.

I have probably every cookbook PC has ever put out but I have to admit I had my doubts about a whole chicken coming out of the microwave in 30 min - and liking it. I couldn't have been more wrong. It was amazing.

I substituted the Moroccan rub for the paprika and it gave it an amazing depth of flavor. The chicken also looked a bit dry coming out of the micro from the rub, not like the picture for the recipe, so before putting the lid on I used a baster for a few squirts of the juices on the whole thing. Voila - much closer to the pic when the lid came off.

As a tip I'm suggesting to make a batch of the rub ahead of time ( 3 or 4 times the recipe) so the weeknight process of chicken to microwave is even that much quicker. How easy is that?
 
I felt the same way - it took me 6 months before I actually tried it - and now, it's still my all time favorite show, and a gold mine for bookings and sales!

Great idea about the seasoning mix!:thumbup: I do that at home, but never thought about telling people at shows to do it. I usually keep a prep bowl full of the mix. I often use one of our rubs in the mix...but still add in some of the paprika, because that gives it the nice deep color of a roasted chicken.

Aha, I didn't consider how the loss of the paprika also could have impacted the final 'look'. Thanks, I'll try to add that back in. Nothing worse than a pale chicken lol.
 
Is this a recipe listed on cs? I am getting my DCB this week and would love to try it at an upcoming show. Chicken and veggies in the new CNS tray
 
thank you, can't wait to try it, now I just need my DCB to arrive:)
