(More customer reviews)Roasted Chicken with Root Vegetables and Mushroom Sauce
This dish was the first recipe I cooked in the Secura countertop convection oven. As a professional chef, I was amazed at the final product and so was my test audience. The skin of the chicken crisped with the same texture and taste as a Rotisserie machine I often noticed on the streets of Paris, France.
While the skin crisps to a golden brown, the internal juices of the chicken bubble away, cooking the meat in a self-contained manner. The Excess fat cooked off the chicken and settled under the holding rack, saving over 100 grams of fat or 900 calories from my meal.
This meal is perfect for a family of four who have stringent financial and time budgets. The total cost of the dish was $12 and required only a small pan to warm the mushroom sauce. Cleanup takes less than two minutes, so expect many volunteers at the end of the meal! The total calories per serving was under 500 calories, making this meal a nutritious addition to your diet.
Besides the perfectly roasted taste of chicken, the Secura oven saves time by cooking in half the time of a standard oven. Only needing forty-five minutes to cook a perfectly roasted chicken, I saved half the time it takes to cook a similar chicken in a conventional oven. When a chicken takes half the time to cook in this oven, you also save a tremendous amount of electricity, making the oven an earth friendly addition to your kitchen.
I added turnips, potatoes, shallots and carrots to my dish and created a complete meal for four people. Adding two sprigs of rosemary added a subtle flavor to the chicken and vegetables. When the chicken was cooked, the vegetables were roasted and the parsnips and carrots perfectly caramelized. By simply slicing some white mushrooms and heating them with prepared gravy, this was by far the best meal I have cooked in terms of time and efficiency.
The Secura countertop convection oven is my new best friend in the kitchen and I plan on adapting most of my recipes so you can enjoy the taste, time and financial efficiencies in your own kitchen.
