Can I cook chicken in a microwave?

[GearHeadDan]

I buy these cheap chicken kiev and cordon blue at the aldi store, and sometimes I want to eat one without the 45-minute oven process? I understand that the chicken is frozen and uncooked. If I defrost, then cook it first in the 1000 watt microwave, then give it 2 toaster oven cycles, do you think this be enough to fully cook the chicken in 15-20 minutes?

Don't tell me its not worth the time saved or not to do it, cuz ill probably do it anyway, and come up with my own way .... Just wondering, how hot do I need to get chicken before its considered "fully cooked"??

As long as there is no blood,hot inside and the consistency is ok--not slimy it will be ok.You could use a thermometer to check but if you don't have one then if it tastes cold inside don't eat it.Chicken is bad for food poisoning when uncooked

Yes you can cook it in microwave. Just stick a knife in it and see if it is still pink inside. When it is fully cooked it will be white.

i let them thaw in fridge then deep fry, check for doneness internal temp 170
microwave may not work as well as a reg oven

Yes, but it sucks out all the juices and flavor. It will taste disgusting.
Oh, and why are you asking if you don't want anyone to say "not to do it?" if you're going to do it anyways, then you shouldn't of asked. You'll just ruin your dinner.

To be safe get it to 165 degrees with a meat thermometer.
