Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
3 pounds whole chicken
1/4 cup soy sauce
1/3 cup honey
1/3 cup dry sherry
1 tablespoon cornstarch
microwave cooking bag

1. Into the cooking bag, place soy sauce, honey and sherry. Add whole
chicken to bag and tie securely. Place the bag into a 2-quart oblong glass
baking dish. Refrigerate for 2 hours, turn the bag 2-3 times to allow
marinade to reach all surfaces of the chicken.
2. When ready to microwave, cut a slit in the bag near the closure. If
you are using a temperature probe, insert through the slit into the thickest
part of the thigh. Avoid touching the bone.
3. Microwave at medium high until temperature reaches 190 degrees, or
about 20 minutes. Temperature varies so check after about 17 minutes. Remove
chicken from microwave.
4. Prepare the sauce. Into a 1-quart glass measuring cup stir together
2 tablespoons water and 1 tablespoon cornstarch. Cut off one corner of the
cooking bag and drain the juices into the measuring cup with the cornstarch
and water. Microwave on high power for 2 minutes, stirring after one minute.
Sauce should be thick and clear.
5. Chicken should stand in bag for 10 minutes; remove bag carefully,
and place chicken on serving platter. Pour sauce over chicken and serve
immediately.
