CONVECTION OVEN ROAST CHICKEN

CONVECTION OVEN ROAST CHICKEN

CONVECTION OVEN INGREDIENTS

1 (5 lb) roasting chickens
3⁄4 teaspoon kosher salt
1⁄2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
fresh herb (rosemary, thyme, oregano, marjoram, etc.,1/4-inch sprig)
1 garlic clove, peeled and cut in half
1 small onion, peeled and quartered (about 2 ounces)
4 slices lemon zest (1/2-x-3-inches each)
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

CONVECTION OVEN DIRECTIONS

Place the toaster oven rack to the lowest position in the oven. Preheat the oven to 400°F on the convection setting.

Remove giblets and neck from cavity of chicken, reserve for another use or discard. Rinse chicken with cold water and pat dry.

Place a baking rack into the broiling pan (that is lined with foil) add 1/4 cup water to the pan and lightly spray the baking rack with cooking spray.

Tuck the wings under and place the chicken on the baking rack pan. Clean work surface and hands with soap and hot water before continuing.

Combine the salt and pepper. Rub half the mixture in the cavity of the chicken; then place the herb sprig(s), garlic halves, onion quarters and lemon zest in the cavity of the chicken.

Loosely tie the legs together. Rub the chicken with the olive oil and remaining salt and pepper. Drizzle with the lemon juice.

Place the chicken in the oven and roast at 400°F for 20 minutes, then lower the temperature to 375°F and continue to roast for an additional 12 minutes per pound longer.

Considering my chicken was 5 lbs. I will roast it for 60 minutes. You will have to calculate the time according to your chicken's weight by multiplying 12 minutes times the size per pound of your chicken.

The Internal temperature of the chicken should be 170°F when tested in the breast, and 180°F when tested in the dark meat.

Juices should run clear.

Turn off oven and remove the chicken to a platter. Let stand 10 - 15 minutes before carving (may cover loosely with foil if desired, but skin will lose its crispness).

Bon Appetit! Cool. Enjoy the CONVECTION OVEN ROAST CHICKEN recipe !!!

Lattice Apple Pie with Mexican Brown Sugar

Convection Oven Recipe Ingredients

1/2 pound piloncillo (unrefined brown sugar; also called panela)
3/4 cup water
4 (1-inch-wide) strips orange zest
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
2 1/2 pound medium apples
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
Pastry dough (for a double-crust pie)
1 tablespoon milk
1 teaspoon sugar

Accompaniment: rum ice cream

Convection Oven Recipe Instructions

First of all put a large heavy baking sheet in middle of oven and preheat oven to 425°F.

And then Bring piloncillo, water, zest, spices, and 1/8 teaspoon salt to a boil in a small heavy saucepan, covered, stirring occasionally until piloncillo has dissolved. Remove lid and boil over medium-low heat until syrup is thickened and reduced to about 3/4 cup, 6 to 10 minutes. Discard zest and cool syrup slightly.

Meanwhile, peel and core apples, then cut into 1/2-inch-wide wedges.
Toss apples with flour, then with syrup.
Roll out 1 piece of dough (keeping remaining piece chilled) on a lightly floured surface with a lightly floured rolling pin into a 13-inch round, then fit into a 9-inch pie plate.

Trim edge, leaving a 1/2-inch overhang, and chill shell.

Roll out remaining piece of dough on a lightly floured surface with a lightly floured rolling pin into a 16-by 11-inch rectangle. Cut dough crosswise into 11 (1 1/4-inch-wide) strips.

Next is to Stir apple mixture, then spoon evenly into pie shell. Weave a tight lattice pattern over pie with pastry strips.

Cheddar-Garlic Portabella Soufflés

...a nice convection oven recipe to try !

convection oven INGREDIENTS

* 4 portabella mushrooms (4- to 4 1/2-in. caps; 3/4 to 1 lb. total)

* About 2 1/2 tablespoons butter or margarine

* 3 tablespoons fine dried breadcrumbs

* 1 1/2 tablespoons minced garlic

* 1/4 cup all-purpose flour

* 1/4 teaspoon salt

* 1/4 teaspoon pepper

* 3/4 cup low-fat milk

* 1 1/4 cups (5 oz.) shredded sharp cheddar cheese

* 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives

* 4 large eggs, separated

convection oven INSTRUCTIONS

1. Rinse and drain mushrooms. Trim stems off flush with caps. Trim discolored ends from stems, then finely chop stems. Set caps, cup sides up, on a 12- by 15-inch baking sheet.

2. Cut 4 sheets of foil, each 12 by 16 inches. Fold each sheet lengthwise in half, then in half again. Generously butter 1 side of each foil strip and dust with bread crumbs. Tightly wrap each foil strip, crumb side in, around a mushroom cap, overlapping ends; secure with metal paper clips.

3. In a 2- to 3-quart pan over medium heat, stir 2 tablespoons butter, garlic, and mushroom stems until stems are browned and limp, about 8 minutes. Add flour, salt, and pepper, and stir 1 minute more. Remove from heat and whisk in milk until mixture is smooth. Stir over high heat until boiling, about 1 minute.

4. Remove from heat, add 1 cup cheese, and stir until melted. Add chives and egg yolks, and stir to blend.

5. In a deep bowl with a mixer on high speed, whip egg whites until stiff, moist peaks form. Stir about 1/3 of the whites into cheese mixture, then gently fold cheese mixture into remaining whites just until blended.

6. Spoon mixture equally into mushroom caps. Sprinkle evenly with remaining cheese. 7. Bake in a 375° oven until souffles are well browned, about 30 minutes (about 25 minutes in a convection oven). Quickly remove paper clips and pull foil free, easing away with a knife tip if necessary. With a wide spatula, transfer soufflés to plates. Enjoy it ! Convection Oven Recipes

Better Cooking Through Convection

Better Cooking Through Convection

Hot air circulating through your oven cooks food more evenly, at lower temperatures, and often with better and faster results

Help! I've got a new convection oven, and I don't know what to do with it." I hear this plea a lot from cooks who have just redone their kitchens, and also from people who are intrigued about convection cooking but aren't sure what the big deal is. The answer is simple: You can cook just about anything in a convection oven, and while learning to use one certainly isn't a big deal, the results you get—evenly cooked cookies, crisp pastry, and juicy, well-browned meats (including that Thanksgiving turkey)—are.

To get comfortable with a convection oven, you just have to start using it. The easiest way to do this is to experiment with your favorite recipes by cooking them at a slightly lower temperature and for a slightly shorter time than you normally would (read The Food Geek's post The Convection Changeover for some good tips on this). But before you do that, or before you follow through with your plans to buy a convection oven, read on to learn how these ovens work, how different models vary, and what kind of results you can expect.

A convection oven circulates hot air with a fan.
Unlike conventional radiant (also called thermal) ovens, convection ovens have a fan that continuously circulates air through the oven cavity. When hot air is blowing onto food, as opposed to merely surrounding it, the food tends to cook more quickly. A short version of the scientific explanation for this is that moving air speeds up the rate of heat transference that naturally occurs when air of two different temperatures converges. To help understand this, consider wind chill: When cold air blows against you on a blustery winter day, you feel colder more quickly than you do on a windless day of the same temperature.

This acceleration effect is one reason for the superior results you get from convection. The rush of heat speeds up the chemical reactions that occur when food cooks. The butter in a pie crust or a croissant releases its steam quickly, creating flaky layers. The skin of a roasting chicken renders its fat and browns more quickly, so the meat cooks faster and stays juicier. The sugars in roasting vegetables and potatoes begin caramelizing sooner, creating crisp edges, moist interiors, and deep flavors. Overall, food cooked in a convection oven is usually done about 25% faster than it is in a conventional oven.
