    No: and I mean that in the most supportive way possible.

    Never microwave meat! If you need to thaw it quickly, put it in a sink of cold water and keep changing the water about every hour. It will thaw within a few hours ...

    There are convection microwaves now that cook like a microwave and oven all in one. It would take about 90 minutes. :)

    Forget the Microwave, I will do mine safely in the deep fryer.

    Having experienced the results of roast chicken cooked in a convection microwave I would say No Thank You. :noway: It does not turn out the same.

    I'd say around 90 minutes, if you put some eggs in their shell in there with it, it should cook a lot faster.

    I think the most healthy way is to eat it raw...start thawing and gnawing now

    According to the USDA, 15minutes per pound on 50% power. Turn often to get even cooking. You may use a cook bag if desired. Will you like the results? Maybe not.

    I would assume since they're both poultry it would translate. And the very scientific gif clearly says 12 minutes and 29 seconds.
