Can a whole chicken (cut-up or intact) fit inside and cook properly?

I usually use about 3 to 5 chicken breasts which I first either sear or or grill first. I then arrange the veggies (onions, fennel, carrots, eggplant, olives, preserved lemons, capers and dried fruit such as dates on the bottom. I place the chicken on top, distributed about the center. Add your favorite seasoning and/ or sauce and close the lid. Place in a preheated oven (400 deg F) for 1 hour. You can use cut up whole chicken instead of the breasts, but I would still precook or brown the chicken first, to some degree.

I do not believe you can 'roast' in the multi cooker. I have browned and then cooked a whole chicken but I would not say it was 'roasted' - the skin did not get crispy on the outside as it would in a regular oven. However, the meat was well cooked and stayed moist.

Depends on how it is sliced or cut up. I have cooked your typical supermarket sized slabs of fresh salmon.

Yes , it's a rotisserie you can also do rib's and a beef roast everything turns out delicious nicely brown and crisp on the out side and moist and juicy on the inside, you will never want chicken any other way you can also do smaller parts like wings and thighs in the basket and all the parts of the rotisserie come easily apart to fit in the dishwasher.

definitely no small whole chicken (the 6 or 8 qt would work better), maybe a 1 to 1.5lb roast.the 4 qt sounds big but it's really not, you can only fill it up to 3/4 capacity and then whatever you are cooking needs liquid or it'll burn.it works for me cause I only cook for myself but if you're cooking for a family get a bigger version

Yes! Insert the probe into the thickest area of the meat (or thickest breast or thigh in a group of chicken pieces). Whatever the lowest acceptable temp for the meat you're cooking is, it'll all come out wonderfully!

I cooked a 7 lb organic chicken 4 or 5 times very successfully, if that helps. Crispy skin, moist inside -- best chicken ever!

Not only can you use this in your oven, that's how it's meant to be used. It is the whole purpose to be able to roast a chicken upright.

I agree with another comment about ribs - you would need to cut the slab. As for other meats, I have cooked a whole chicken (typical small fryer) and about a 3 to 4 lb brisket

Probably is the best answer I can give. We did a 5 1/2 pound chicken and wrapped it tight and it worked fine.

If you mean whole...like uncut...no. A whole apple sliced into pieces would fit in the bottom large container.

This deep fryer has a capacity of 3 liters. We do not recommend deep frying a whole chicken in this deep fryer. Chicken should be cut up into pieces and it is important not to over fill the basket. Food should be no higher than the top of the basket.

Possibly, I have never tried it. The chicken would cook down eventually, but might not be able to use cover initially.

I do not think you would be able to do that. When cooking a chicken you place the chicken over the tubed center (about 3" tall) of the dish. Inside that "tube" you ad liquid which steams up through the cavity of the chicken. Hope this helps you.

No! Okay, maybe a very small, store bought chicken. I bought this to cook home processed chickens after reading only the answer about the turkey. But I can't even fit the legs in without separating thigh and drumstick. Not even close to fitting the chicken whole.

The little booklet has recipes and there's recipes all over the web. It is pretty much the same length of time (either cut up or whole bird) as it takes in conventional oven perhaps a little less. My 2 dishes, chicken breasts and a 6 lb +/- roaster took the thighs a little more time, he was a huge roaster, the breasts came out very juicy and good. Working my way into more complicated dishes. Good luck.

While you cannot fit a whole chicken in there, you can put in chicken parts and your veggies and make a lovely soup for two.I find this pot very handy and have made soup this way.
