I would never use "clear wrap" to touch food cooking in the microwave
- I believe it is one of those things that is generally considered
"possibly [chemically] bad." I always use waxed paper (probably also
bad, but I haven't heard that yet). ;-)

I would never cook a chicken leg in the microwave, either. If you
can't cook it on a stove top, in an oven, or even in a toaster oven,
buy frozen chicken that's already cooked that you can put in the
microwave to heat up.
