Can you microwave chicken with the bone in it?

Question

I'd like to reheat a chicken thigh, but it has the bone in it, so I don't know if that is dangerous or what.

Thanks, I'll pick a best answer TODAY!

Answer 1

Well if it was already cooked then its okay and nothing will hurt your microwave and if u want to add a little spicy to it chile and lemon will help to give it a zing flavor.

Answer 2

Yes, there is nothing wrong with cooking your chicken with the bone in it still. i BELIEVE i may be wrong but I believe you can cook a raw chicken in the microwave too. however that would take a really long time to safely cook the chicken.

Answer 3

Yes, just place it with the thickest part toward the center so it heats through.  It will be fine.

Answer 4

Sure you can reheat a cooked chicken thigh, with the bone.  I cover it with waxed paper, so it won't splatter all over.  

Answer 5

Yes you can

Answer 6

Yes. Nothings dangerous about the bone. Actually, the chicken would be more dangerous to heat than the bone.  

Answer 7

I always have, it's never been a problem. You just can't put metal in the microwave. It will be fine (and yummy!)

Answer 8

You should stay away from anything that has metal in it and can reflect the rays back at your microwave (as well as plastics that can melt). So yes, chicken bones have no metal and are microwave safe.

Answer 9

no it is not dangerous and yes you can heat it in the microwave i do it all the time cause its already fully cooked so its ok to eat  

Answer 10

i guessing if you put it with the bone in it it should be the same a cooking in in the oven.The bones will be hot but wont explode.
