CONVECTION OVEN ROAST CHICKEN (FOR TOASTER OVEN)
I replaced my regular toaster oven with a convection toaster oven a few years ago and I have to say it was the best thing I could have done. I have used this toaster oven extensively as it does help keep the kitchen cooler then using the big oven. I didn't have any lemons so used limes instead. I used a 5 pound chicken but a 3 1/2-4 pound chicken can also work here.

Steps:
- 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!
ORANGE CHICKEN (CONVECTION TOASTER OVEN)
I got a new convection toaster oven and it cooks differently then the one I had. This chicken was 5.6 lbs. and one of the biggest chickens I've ever cooked in a toaster oven. Once the chicken is done if you want, you can make a sauce from the liquid from the orange juice basting liquid and the chicken juices. Just make sure you remove the oil from the what's left in the pan. I'd use a little organic cornstarch or arrowroot flour to thicken this. I cooked the chicken at 30 minutes per pound, and since I live at 5,000 feet I turned the temperature up to 375'F. At sea level keep the temperature at 325'F. It cooked perfectly. When I inserted the meat thermometer in it's breast, it read 165'F.

Steps:
- Preheat the toaster oven to 350'F. Put it on the bake/convection setting.
- Remove the giblets from inside the chicken.
- Wash the chicken inside and out and pat dry.
- Cut slits in the orange and stuff it in the chicken's cavity.
- Brush the chicken with the melted coconut oil and salt and pepper the bird.
- Then baste with some of the orange juice. Place in the oven. Baste the bird every 20 minutes or so to ensure that the orange flavor gets into the chicken juices.
- At the end of the 2 hours 55 minutes test the breast with an oven thermometer. If it measures 165'F then it's done.
- Let the bird sit for a good 10 minutes before slicing. Remove the orange. Carve the bird.
- If you want, drain the orange and chicken bits from the pan and make a sauce. Make sure you remove the fat first.
- Enjoy!

Tips:
- Use fresh oranges for the best flavor. If you don't have fresh oranges, you can use bottled or frozen orange juice, but the flavor will not be as good.
- Don't overcrowd the toaster oven. If you do, the chicken will not cook evenly.
- Use a baking sheet that is large enough to hold the chicken in a single layer.
- Preheat the toaster oven to the desired temperature before you add the chicken.
- Cook the chicken for the full amount of time specified in the recipe. If you undercook the chicken, it will not be safe to eat.
- Serve the orange chicken immediately with rice or noodles.
