can you cook a 4lb or more whole chicken

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.

No, you could only put certain amount of oil, and that's is not deep enough to fry whole chicken.

No, you can only put pieces of chicken in the basket. If you want to cook a whole chicken you would need to get the Compact or larger.

I suppose it depends on the size of the product you put in the basket. I use one basket in addition to the regular basket and can cook two whole chickens. Could not fit another one in there cooking chickens.

I've never done a whole chicken. But I have done a chicken that was cut in pieces and it fit just fine.

I doubt you could due a 10 pounder due to the size this cone would be. I've never done more than a 5 lb. chicken--but the book says you can do up to a 7-8 lb. bird.That would be kinda big for the chamber. But that size gyro, even if it were smaller, my worry would be that it might fall apart IF you could mount it in the chamber securely. All this aside, I'd be willing to take a chance since you could do a very slow cook with the versatile heat settings and considering it has a center heating element. A tough decision. Maybe call the manufacturer.

It may depend on what size the entire chicken is - otherwise, my suggestion is to cut a whole chicken into pieces to fit into the pan! Good luck!

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.

It has been a long time since I used it, but I dont think so. I could do up to a 4lb chicken in it in 20-30 min. But I cant give you a absolute positive answer. I wouldnt do things for hours. Best bet is to look at the Nordic ware web site and maybe ask them about specific recipies.

I can get 2- 7 pound chickens or up to a 18 lb turkey in the roaster when the birds are sitting on the rack. Its the best roaster we have ever owned,great for cooking everything.Makes great pot roast with potatoes and carrots also.

you can cook meet but i will not advise to cook a full chicken. Saussage or small part of a chicken is ok. you cannot add butter or oil so it is cook only by steam

I really don't believe that it's big enough for a turkey that big. I've baked a whole chicken at about 3lb. and that was just right for this size pan.

Yes. You could fit 2 smaller chickens, like around 3 1/2 pound chickens. You could leave them whole to make a stock with. They would touch and your pot would be full, but you could do it. I would actually recommend buying the next size up if you want to boil two chickens on a regular basis.

we have used it for short ribs,and pot roast,plus numerous other things,I haven't tried a chickenand you would have to judge the size.Get a good book on pressure cooking,besides the one thatcomes with it,that way you have more of an array of recipes to try...this is one great cooker.

Yes! this is the perfect size to cook a whole chicken! I have done this several times. This is the best crock-pot!

Yes, you could probably even put 2 whole chickens sideways in it. That is if they are about 4lbs & you're not putting anything else in it. Hope that helps! We love this crockpot more than the other 2 we have had.

Don't have a measuring tape on me right now but you can easely fry half of a big chicken with fries or potatos all at once or four big whole wings or two big breasts and two big legs all with fries. It is big enough I would say.
