I have no clue how to attach anything. Here is a link to a thread that has recipes for the baker.

If you're using the oven, treat your stone like a roasting pan. Follow the traditional cooking time for roasting a whole chicken, about 20 minutes per pound.

When I used to do it in the old DDB DDBakingBowl combo I would do a 4lb chicken with the lid on at 400 degree's for 45 minutes. Then I would take the lid off and let it brown another 15 minutes. A 5lb chicken would bake an hour covered then I would take the lid off and bake for another 15 minutes.

I made the 30 minute chicken last night for the first time in the microwave. The online recipe had too many steps so instead I brushed the bird and the baker with olive oil and generously sprinked the Jamaican Jerk seasoning all over the chicken...it was soooo good.

LOL - there's a recipe? what recipe?

The first time I made the 30-minute chicken, I sprinkled mine with seasoning, covered it and popped it in the microwave. Easy peasy.

Since that first time, I've experimented with crock-pot recipes, making them in the microwave using the covered baker.
H E A V E N ! ! !

This is becoming my favorite piece of stoneware.

The "Juiciest Roast Chicken" recipe in the Fall/Winter SB is delicious - and uses the DCB. I would recommend trying that one!

In addition to the 30 minute chicken info on CC, you can go to www.kraftfoods.com, type "chicken" into the search box and voila....tons of chicken recipes and chicken "helps".

I subscribe to their weekly emails and yesterday they sent a recipe for "Roasted Chicken". That is the actual name of the recipe so you can search that too

If you are not already signed up for their quarterly magazine....DO THAT TODAY!!! The Kraft foods website, emails, and magazine really compliment what PC is all about. Check it out!
