To speed up grilling time, grill chicken until golden brown on both sides. Remove to microwave-safe plate, cover with waxed paper and microwave the chicken for 5 to 10 minutes (depending on the amount) at 70% power(MEDIUM HIGH) or until chicken tests done when cut with a knife and juices run clear.
Cooking Tip
Need a chicken to cook in less than an hour? ( If you need meats quick, go to an online butcher) Butterflying a whole chicken will decrease the amount of time it takes to cook. Remove the backbone of the chicken by cutting up each side of the spine with a pair of kitchen shears; discard the backbone. Turn the chicken over and spread out flat; press on the breastbone with the heel of your hand to flatten. Now you'll be able to broil, bake or grill and save at least 20 minutes.
Cooking Tip
To roast a chicken whole and cut off significant cooking time, roast a chicken on a vertical roaster. Don't have a vertical roaster? Stand an opened pop can or beer can (filled halfway with water, juice or beer) in a roasting pan; hold chicken upright and place chicken cavity over can in a roasting pan. Vertical roasting eliminates the need to turn the bird and this method creates a beautiful evenly browned moist chicken in a shorter amount of time than the traditional method of laying the bird on it's back in a pan.
