400g of microwavable chicken pieces (thighs and drumsticks), full power for 10mins

if I only want 1/2 of them, is it a simple as full power for 10/2=5mins

Depends on the microwave and the power. I may be 1/2 or it could be 2/3.

Try just below 1/2 then check it to how far along it is.

The 10mins was the correct time for my microwave.

Tried 1/2 the time, then added another minute -> and 4hours later I ain't in the bathroom puking up the meal and feeling like death warmed (or rather microwaved) up, so methinks I got it near enough ok.

wasn't the chicken already cooked anyway? so the microwave was only heating it up.
