That all sounds fine except the raw chicken going into the microwave.
Yuck. The very smell of meat cooked in a microwave is a turnoff. I
know this, as I microwave discarded portions of chicken so that I'm
not putting raw chicken into the garbage where natural processes
produce an even more hideous odor. Microwaves do something different
to the proteins in raw meat that regular heat cooking does not.
That's why almost no one cooks meat in a microwave. Perhaps that's
the reason they are no longer going to sell the large bags.

You could accomplish the same thing by baking the chicken covered in a
Dutch oven like this one: http://www.flickr.com/photos/1552229...7619683985776/
Corning Ware cleans up very easily too. You'll save money, eat better
and won't be putting one of those bags into a landfill.

About the suicide thing. You set that up. The humor gods would have
punished me if I hadn't obliged.
