Planning Tips for Cooking this Meal in Convection
Cooking Time Chicken Pieces - 25 - 35 minutes depending on the size
Resting Time for Chicken - 5 minutes
Cooking Time for Vegetables - 20 - 25 minutes
Cooking Time for Crisp - 35 - 40 minutes
Organize the oven racks, one on rack 2 (counting up from the bottom) the other on rack 4.
Preheat the oven in the Convection Roast or Convection Bake Mode to 425 degrees.
The chicken goes into the oven on the upper rack and the vegetables on the lower rack, set the timer for 10 minutes, then reduce the temperature to 375.
Slide the crisp in next to either the vegetables or the chicken and set the timer for 15 minutes.
Remove the chicken and vegetables from the oven, move the crisp to the upper rack to crisp the topping and cook for another 15 - 20 minutes.
