olive oil, garlic, oregano, cumin, and salt in a small bowl. 2. Pour

the marinade into a 1 gallon resealable ziptop bag. 3. Place the

hens in the bag and press to remove as much air as possible

before sealing. 4. Place the bag in a large bowl or rigid container

and into the refrigerator. Allow to marinade at least 4 hours or

preferably overnight. 5. Place the sliced onions, the hens, and

their marinade in a small roasting pan or casserole dish. Season

the hens with freshly ground black pepper. 6. Place the dish into

the oven on rack position “1.” 7. Select the Micro Roast mode set

to 425°F and roast for 45 minutes or until an internal temperature

of 165°F is reached in the thickest part of the breast.

Micro Roast

ROASTING IN MOMENTS

As with the Micro Bake Mode, this mode combines the best

of convection heat and microwave power. Micro Roast Mode

uses more microwave power to quickly roast tender, succulent

proteins and vegetables, while convection heat browns the

outside to desired crispiness.
