I realised that the chicken turned a bit dry after 10 minutes so I quickly cover it with aluminium foil. Roast for about 30 - 40 minutes at about 210 degree celcius. About 5 minutes before it's ready, take away the aluminium foil to brown the chicken. 
The Chicken Maryland turned out great. It was juicy and flavourful and the roasted veggies were excellent especially the soft sweet pumpkin. There was quite a bit of gravy, I wonder if it was from the chicken or the veggies which nevertheless tasted wonderfully sweet. My dad was drinking it spoonful after spoonful. 
Hubby was impressed too and he decorated his plate for me to take a picture. I was happy that my first dish with my new oven turned out good. But of course, still plenty of room for improvement, so do expect to see more roast/grill dishes in my blog.
My second attempt with my new oven was even better than this, so stay tune!

Congratulation for ur dream came true..New Toy huh :)
I can smell the chicken from here~~~~
Hi Pea! Wish you a great New Year filled with loads of good food and good times with family and friends!
Want to ask you, the vege will get soft enough by cooking together with the chicken? No need to precook them first?
Wow..!! wonderful..!!
i know u sure goin to do this!!! aikss...hungry!!
aiwei: Can can, err, can swap with your mum's homemade tongyuen? Hehe!
ekeng: Yalor..new toy! I think this will keep me very busy for the time being.
kat: Happy New Year to you and your family too!! How's life over there? To answer your question, the only thing I preboiled was the pumpkin. Big mistake as it turned out mushy. That is why i never mention about preboiling in my post. But do slice or cut your veggies into smaller chunks if you are worried they are not soft enuff. The only thing you might want to consider pre-boiling is the potatoes, which I did not, but still turned out soft cos it absorbed the chicken gravy.
mamabok: Thanks! :)
Jackson, yes I will make again, and I know who to invite as my guinea pig! ;)
ohhhh new pinch!!! the chicken looksss fabulousss, yes, closing the roast with aluminium is good idea :-) more grill to come, yes!
oh btw, white wine vinegar is just a type of angmoh vinegar made using white grapes. you can always substitute them with others, as long as their's a vinegar kick in the dish ;-p
a new toy in the kitchen, eh? haha! i remember waiting to see the cheese melt when i got my first electric oven...silly me! hahaha!
wah..when i read maryland..i was thinkin of the deep fried version..hahaha..

imbi & itchy: I see. I will try to make the ribs this weekend. It looks so delicious. But I guess I will do away the sherry and substitute with ermm..chinese wine?
nic (khkl): Hahaha..but that didn't take very long rite? Once I waited in front of the oven till my cake is baked. Hot hot hot..ended up fever after that and I only took a bit of the cake. Learnt my lesson after that. Hahaha!
NJoe: Trust me, Roast version much juicier and ahem..healtier.
bbo: Hehehe..thanks. I think once I finish off experimenting with meat, i will turn to bakery!!
meiyen: Patient, pls be patient. My house is very very very empty now. Hehehe!

Impressive! It turned out wonderful too. The only missing is that I can't taste it... :(
Happy early X'mas!
Wah looks delicious la~ can borrow your new and super oven to me? i also want to cook haha
Life here is good. Yummy Indian and China-chinese food. No problems finding whatever we need - there are Chinese, Indian and Indonesian grocers around. I bought the tastiest foo yue ever at one of the Chinese grocer! Met up with a biggish community of Msians here too.
Interesting how one bulb of garlic can infuse the entire dish. No need to separate them into cloves hor.
nkotb: Yep...i think i will make my first batch of cookies for Chinese New Year. Heehee!
tigerfish: Awww..even without an oven you always whip up wonderful dishes! :) Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you too!!
Kenny: No la...still experimenting. :)
Christine: Hahaha...can can.
Furkids in HK: Thank you! Well, you can try it out over there...am sure you doggies will go crazy over the wonderful smell while roasting. My SnowPea went near the oven when he smelt something good.
Alvin: Errr...cannot wor. It's fixed to the cabinet, how to pinjam? :P~~~
kat: OOoo...foo yue from China? I always complain to Hubby that what we get here is actually no big deal. Even Melbourne grocery stores have more things to sell than here. But glad to hear you are settling in well. As for the garlic, yes, whole bulb with skins. But it wasn't too soft though so if you like, smash it abit. Whether in bulb or clove, up to you. Perfect to spread on bread! Yumz! Ooohh..wait for my next post on grilled chicken wings. I used garlic to marinade it..WONDERFUL!
mmmmm so open stomach! Haha, looks good Pea! Anytime you need someone to lap up the gravy, give me a call. Sorry Uncle Pea I like chup too!
wow... din know u can drop pumpkin into this dish ~ of cos i do not mean the furry darling of urs :p
Hi Pea,
Impressive! Looks better than those in TGI Friday or Tony Romas. When I have an oven at home, I know who to ask for recipe:P
BTW, thought of suggesting this Chinese restaurant in Brickfield - Woo Lan. It is one of my favorites. Been there? Will give you direction if you haven't been there.
Hi Ivy, yeah yeah .. i think chinese wine is good idea because the rest of the ingredient is very oriental, so it will go really well too! can't wait to see your ribs! err .. i mean your pork ribs! hehe
tt looks yummy! Happy baking!
hahaha your i see that your husband have soaked in the foodie habbit of arranging food. hahahahahha
cool ~~ I am still waiting for my own oven too. Can't wait to bake honey chicken for my kids and also rib steak for hubby. My last home made rib steak taken was done by a friend in Italy - he only sprinkled sea salt on the rib, accompanied with green, red and yellow bell pepper (capsicum)and then added water to half height of the rib. Baked it for ?. It was nmmm.... yummy !
