I got a new convection toaster oven and it cooks differently then the one I had. This chicken was 5.6 lbs. and one of the biggest chickens I've ever cooked in a toaster oven. Once the chicken is done if you want, you can make a sauce from the liquid from the orange juice basting liquid and the chicken juices. Just make sure you remove the oil from the what's left in the pan. I'd use a little organic cornstarch or arrowroot flour to thicken this. I cooked the chicken at 30 minutes per pound, and since I live at 5,000 feet I turned the temperature up to 375'F. At sea level keep the temperature at 325'F. It cooked perfectly. When I inserted the meat thermometer in it's breast, it read 165'F.
