- Turn the chicken pieces upside down after every beeps. Keep checking.
- If more crispiness required grill it for more 7 minutes. (Turn the Chicken upside down after 10 mins.)
It is important to keep checking the chicken pieces are getting properly cooked and sometimes it may take more than the usual time to grill the chicken pieces perfectly, so fear not let the microwave oven do its work and you relax. Also if you see the chicken pieces are bit under cooked, you can always give your oven some extra time to grill them properly before you serve them. Make sure that the chicken have been perfectly grilled and has soft and juicy texture inside out because that’s what a perfect marination will give you as a result in the end.
