Can I put a whole chicken in here? Does it come with a recipe book?

I'm vegan so I haven't attempted this but I would guess a small chicken or two Cornish hens might fit if that's ask you out in. Since the pot is round it would be an awkward fit for a whole chicken but cut pieces would fit nicely. There's a small recipe book with about 10 things in it. Nothing to shout about. A basic slow cooker recipe will do.

I think yes you can as long as it fits there. I'm not sure if there is any recepy for it but you can follow any recipe book you like. I never made a full chicken, but I did a lot of different dishes with chicken. Delicious meal. Completely different taste.

It has a recipe book that comes with it but you could just look at one of them that is close if you want to change it a little and be just fine, that is what I've done. I have made peach jam, blueberry jam, grape jelly and blackberry jelly this year with it and they all turned out great even though I used my recipes.

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.

Yes, it does come with a recipe book. It has 8 pages which includes the instructions for use and care on the first page.The other pages are divided into recipes for appetizers, beef, pork, lamb & veal, chicken, soup and side dishes. There are 2 recipes for each. The couple of recipes I have used have been good and easy. I think the information you can get from the printed recipes can give you ideas on how to make up your own using the appliance.

Yes, a recipe book comes with it, but it is more of a pamphlet than a book.

No you don't, it has a recipe book that comes with it. I usually make up my own recipe. My dogs love it.

This slow cooker doesn't come with a recipe book. It comes with an instruction book for tips how to use it. You can get recipes for slow cooker online or buy a cookbook.

You probably can fit a whole chicken in this crock pot. I read about some slow cooker/crock pot that it is better to CUT whole chickens and large pieces of meat in half before placing in the slow cooker just to make sure they cookthoroughly. I, myself prefer to cut meat into smaller portions for easier cooking. Hope this is helpful. Thank you

no I do not believe a recipe book or anything comes with it. You can go to youtube on the net and get some info from some of the videos and such for using these.

We may not be on the same page. The device doesn't actually store recipes. It provides measurement conversions and allows you to scale up a recipe, but it's really quantity-by-quantity. So for example, if you had a recipe that said it was 8 people, and used 3 lb. of chicken, 2 cups chicken stock, 1/2 tsp pepper, and 2 TBS of garlic, and you wanted to scale it up for 15 people, you'd store the conversion factor, but would then have to perform 4 separate calculations, one for each ingredient, and write each one down as you went. That's really what it does best. It will also convert, e.g. TBS's to cups, etc. Hope that helps. We may not be on the same page. The device doesn't actually store recipes.

No it isn't big enough to do a whole chicken. You could steam a cut up chicken but I have not tried it for meat. I use a slow cooker for that.

I haven't done it but it looks like a whole chicken would fit with room to spare but I'm not sure.

The largest thing I have put in it is a 5 or so lb. chicken. It probably could do it although it may look crammed in there at first they alsways do shrink. Also I would cook on med instead of low.

I use a rub all over the outside of the chicken, but you can either insert them inside the cavity (the herbs would be in between the bird and the metal part) or I imagine you could put them in the round part of the pan, but I'm not sure how much flavor they would add to the bird that way. You can always test it.
