How to use this oven to roast chicken?

Question

Accepted Answer

To roast chicken in your Amica XType AMMB44E2GCB combination microwave oven, you have several options depending on the size and shape of your chicken. The simplest and most effective method is to use the automatic program P04 (Poultry/Fish): select this program on the control panel and enter only the weight of your chicken in grams. The oven automatically adjusts the temperature, power, and cooking time. You will receive an audible signal to remind you to turn the chicken halfway through cooking, then the combined cooking cycle starts automatically until the end.

If you prefer to manually control the cooking, the convection mode is ideal for roasting a whole chicken or large pieces. Set the temperature to 180°C (adjustable from 100°C to 230°C depending on the size of your chicken) and allow about 45 to 60 minutes for a whole chicken weighing 1.5 kg, basting regularly. This mode works like a traditional oven and provides even cooking with a nicely browned skin.

For chicken pieces and quick cooking, use the microwave + grill with fan mode (default temperature 180°C). This mode combines the speed of the microwave with the power of the grill to achieve a golden skin in less time. You can also use the microwave + convection mode at 180°C if you are looking for very quick cooking with a juicy texture.

For grilling only (without microwave), select the grill with fan mode set to 180°C, ideal for medium-sized chicken portions. This mode cooks and browns your dish evenly. You can also adjust the grill power from 1 to 3 depending on the thickness of your piece.

Important tips: Always ensure that the turntable and the rotating rack are properly installed in the oven before starting cooking. Never operate the oven empty. Always place the chicken on the turntable, never directly on the oven walls. For optimal roasting with a crispy skin, consider using the barbecue rack provided with your appliance, which can be placed on the turntable.

Depending on the mode chosen, cooking times vary: the P04 program adjusts everything automatically, convection alone requires 45-60 minutes for a whole chicken, and the combined modes reduce this time by half. A kitchen thermometer allows you to check that the chicken has reached 75°C at the core for optimal food safety.
