Meal Preparation Tips

This is another meal that makes good use of both ovens. The Multi-Function oven is the best choice for

cooking the chicken and the other dishes can all be cooked in the Convection oven at the same time.

Plan one hour to roast a 5lb chicken and 10 minutes resting time before carving the chicken. The

vegetables, casserole and crisp need about 35 minutes to cook, although the casserole does require a

little advance preparation.

Spice Rubbed Roast Chicken

1 – 5lb chicken

1 – teaspoon kosher salt

1 – tablespoon mesquite spice rub

1 – tablespoon olive oil

Preheat the Multi-Function in the Fan Assist Mode to 400°

Get the baking tray with rack ready and set to one side.

Remove the giblets from the chicken, wash the chicken inside and out under cold running water and

dry thoroughly with paper towels. Mix the seasonings and oil together in a small bowl and wearing

disposable gloves rub the seasoning all over the chicken. Place the chicken on the prepared pan and

place in the oven.

Cook for 15 minutes then change the mode to Convection and reduce the temperature to 350° for the

remaining 45 minutes cooking time.

4 – tablespoons unsalted butter

1 ½

– cups milk or ½ & ½

1 – cup shredded cheddar cheese

Preheat the oven to Convection 350°

minutes, taking care not to burn the mixture. Stir in the milk or ½ & ½ whisking all the time and continue

whisking until the mixture is completely smooth. Stir in the cheese until it has completely melted and

mixture and bake for 30-35 minutes.
