Done in a Sharp Carousel convection microwave. 9 minutes per pound. Skin coated with honey and thick soya sauce comes out nicely crisp. 45 minutes total for this 5lb chicken. Beat that for speed!

Plus the meat is tender, moist and succulent on both breast and leg. Brilliant!

A comment on microwave ovens. I use mine for reheating, defrosting, popping popcorn.

The only things I cook with it are this roast chicken and bacon. See:
   • Bacon - quickest and easiest  

All other cooking is done with my gas stove.

But the roast chicken done here is by far better than any other method. Quick,simple, safe.

Over 100 chickens cooked this way over the years.

My model is:

Sharp R-930AK 1-1/2-Cubic Feet 900-Watt Convection Microwave, Black
