Directions

1. Gather all of the ingredients needed for the Lemon-Thyme Chicken recipe.

2. Pat the chicken dry with paper towels. Tie up (truss) the chicken with kitchen twine. Rub the chicken with lemon and squeeze the rest of the juice into the cavity.

3. Place the lemon and thyme inside the cavity of the chicken. Rub the chicken with olive oil and season it with salt and pepper. Let the chicken sit at room temperature for 45 minutes before cooking.

4. Press PRESET and use the START/PAUSE dial to select PRESET 39.

5. Press START/ PAUSE to begin preheating. Once preheated, the unit will beep twice, display "Ready", countdown for 10 seconds and then beep once to give you time to insert your food.

6. Position the chicken on the baking tray and place the chicken into the unit in rack position 1. Close the door to begin Stage 1 (400°F combo, 20% steam) for 15 minutes. Once completed, the unit will beep once and move onto Stage 2 (325°F combo, 20% steam) for 40 minutes. After the forty minutes is up, the unit will beep three times and display "End".
