Avoid splatters when baking/roasting chicken?

Hi All

I've just purchased a Panasonic Microwave which has a fan oven built in, I noticed when I put some breaded chicken in the oven (in a tray) the fat collected and started splattering on the sides and top due to the heat, having a quick Google it appears this happens in normal ovens too.

I want to try baking some chicken next but was after some advice, what is the best way to do this while minimising or avoiding splatters? are there any special roasting or baking tins which may help or any other suggestions?

Due to the size I can only use something with a approx diameter of 35CM, advice appreciated :)

    If you are using the fan oven only to cook your chicken, could you not use A roasting bag or wrap the chicken in tin foil?

    The top does not crisp when its covered so was hoping there might be a better solution :)

    Cover with foil and then remove for the last 30 mins or so. In a microwave, put it in a bowl with a lid.
    Any language construct that forces such insanity in this case should be abandoned without regrets. –

    Just use it how you wish and clean it from time to time.
