3 lb whole chicken
1/4 cup soy sauce
1/3 cup honey
1/3 cup dry sherry
1 tbsp cornstarch
1 microwave cooking bag
Directions
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.

The History of Recipes
Food historians have traced the existence of recipes back into history, at least as far back as the early Egyptians, and quite possibly further than that. Interesting though that maybe, sadly, these ancient cook books were just simple hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for meal preparation.
As we move into The time of the roman empire 25BC a man called Apicius compiled a number of scripts detailing recipes enjoyed by his fellow Romans. In his works, Apicius recounts how the meals were separated into appetizers, main meal and desserts, a style of dining still practiced today. Aspicius describes how the ancient Romans used a good variety of spices and herbs, including some that we all recognise such as bay, mint and dill. Over the following few hundred years, the wealthy families of Wesstern Europe competed to serve up the best banquets, and consequentially the best cooks and their recipes were highly sought after. Even so, it was during the 19th century that cookery and recipe collections really came of age. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Farmer in the USA, dedicated their lives to collecting, testing, and recording recipes for their fellow cooks to enjoy. The introduction of television brought us TV cooks and the spin-off recipe books. And that brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, permitting everyone to search through thousands of recipes such as those found on this site. |
