Rockcrok 30 Minute Whole Roasted Chicken

I can remember making my first Pampered Chef chicken and was very wary about cooking it properly. Watching about a million you-tube videos and looking at my Pampered Chef recipe with my best pair of reading glasses over and over again I got the courage to give it a try.

Grabbing my ingredients,  I put the recipe together, and placed in the microwave. The timer went off, I poke my digital read thermometer in several places and decided to zap it on high in the microwave a little bit longer.  I learned that micro-roasting a supersize chicken needed a little more cooking time.  After 5 more minutes, the chicken was at 165 degrees Fahrenheit. I popped it out onto the counter, set it on top of a large cutting board still in the Rockcrok and covered with a cheesecloth towel.  I waited, 10 solid minutes.

The resting period of that bird was the most difficult. The chicken looked so amazing when I pulled it out of the oven. My tummy did that crazy grumble and my mouth was watering. I was ready to eat! Ding! The timer finally allowed me a taste! I cut into the thick breast and the juices flowed clear. The first taste was the best, the chicken was moist and the seasoning just perfect. I had to put my fork down, lest my family have nothing to eat for dinner!

My Family Loved the Rockcrok Chicken!

Everyone loved the chicken. We revisit this recipe often. Cooking a whole chicken in the microwave is a real gift in hot climates. Nobody wants to be in a hot kitchen babysitting a roast chicken for two hours!  I totally recommend the  Rockcrok 30 Minute Whole Roasted Chicken for busy dinner nights!

I used the Rockcrok Dutch Oven! You can find it here!  Please Remember to Only Use Microwave Safe Dishes In the Microwave!

      1. This is cooking as we speak! I am a PC consultant and absolutely LOVE this product! I was excited to come across your blog and then to see this!? Happy Thursday! When was this written? Wondering if you loved the results?

        1. I loved the results! I was reluctant to switch from the other PC I was using but I was loving the idea of the easy clean up. So I switched and am really happy. I believe I bought the newer one when I did the turkey chili recipe, but I can’t recall.

  1. So I am confused as to the last step, which states to remove and cover for 10 minutes. Do you now put the lid on the rockcrok when you put it into the microwave?

    1. Thank you for pointing this out. I do not add the lid for the cooking process. After it is finished in the micorwave I just tent foil it or put the lid on half-way if it will fit. I will update this post,it is much like resting a grilled steak.

        1. I honestly have not noticed it doing so! But, I have a teenager here and have to constantly clean it, so maybe I did not notice! If you are concerned you could put a papertowel over the chicken.

  2. Can I use my regular slow cooker pot, instead of the Crock pot? I’m going to make it for tonight, so it will be too late for the answer. I was just wondering.

    1. If you use a slow cooker pot it will most likely not be microwave safe. I do not recommend this method without a Rockrok from Pampered Chef. If you use a slow cooker find a whole chicken slowcooker method. You can transfer to a oven safe dish to get the whole chickne to crisp up a bit.

  3. The picture shows vegetables under the chicken, but no vegetables listed in the ingredients. Can you cook this recipe with vegetables on the bottom, or not?

    1. You can! I use the vegetables to raise the chicken a little bit. I took a second photo because I wrote this post when I first started blogging. So sorry! Have a great day1
