Got one of those 'combi' MWs - i.e. microwave/grill/convection oven,
think I've only ever used it for defrosting/re-heating...

Was gonna cook outdoors - but it rained (again). I was busy cleaning my
electric stove/oven and I had a (small) whole chicken that I had
planned on cooking...

Anyway, my MW has an 'auto roast' function for doing whole chickens,
hunks of beef or pork, so I thought 'What the heck?'. Put my usual rub
on the bird, slapped it in the MW, chose 'auto roast/chicken', punched
in the weight of the bird on the panel, hit the start button and voila!
the MW 'did it's own thing' i.e. chose it's own combi settings and
proceeded to cook the chicken. Approx 40 minutes later I had a very
edible bird. The skin was crispy, and the meat was tender and moist.
Not too shabby, IMHO. To think I've had the MW for over 6 years and
never tried this before <lol>.
