Combine first 6 ingredients; stir well and set aside. Remove giblets and neck from chicken; discard. Then rinse chicken under cold running water; pat dry. Rub outside of chicken with spice mixture. Tie ends of legs to tail with string; lift wingtips up and over back, and tuck under chicken. Place chicken, breast side down, in a deep 3-quart casserole. Cover with wax paper and microwave at high 8 to 9 minutes. Turn chicken, breast side up, and microwave, covered, at high 8 to 9 minutes. Remove chicken to serving platter; reserve drippings in casserole. Let chicken stand, covered, 15 minutes. Add vegetables to drippings; toss gently to coat. Microwave a high 3 to 4 minutes or until crisp-tender stirring halfway through cooking process. Arrange vegetables around chicken. Yield: 5 servings.
