How many pieces of chicken can you cook at the same time ? Thanks.

I have only used it once to cook chicken, i usually cook fries and calamari, but you can cook about 6 to 8 small pieces of chicken , or 3 to 4 big pieces of chicken . This is a very good frier.

Not a whole chicken, obviously, but if you're talking a cup of rice and a couple of chicken pieces, absolutely. It's a great size for cooking for 1-2 people.

If the chickens are about 3 lbs or so, then about 3 birds at a time. If heavier, then 2 birds.

I think the space is pretty tight for roasting a whole chicken. The top of the chicken would be too close to the heating elements, causing uneven browning. Even cutting the whole chicken into pieces would overcrowd the roasting pan. The size is more ideal for roasting 2 bone in chicken breast halves or several chicken leg/thigh pieces. Cutting a whole chicken in half would also work better.

Good question, I used this for my salads, so I have just tried chicken, sorry.

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.

You use the hooks and hang the meat on the bars. I cut my chickens in half and hang them. Ribs you hang about 2 bones down and you can about 8 ribs at a time. If you go to the website they have videos that show exactly what to do. Pretty easy and no temperature to control. It's amazing!

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

You can safely use 5 eggs. Any more than that I think the eggs might not cook sufficiently on top without burning the bottom.

I have never cooked a 4 lb chicken but have cooked a 8 lb turkey breast from frozen in about 2 1/2 to 3 hours. It does take a little longer to cook some things than the book says but does beat not turning the oven on. Food taste great.

Absolutely! It will take 2 small chickens or one larger one. We've done the Purdue oven stuffer roasters and they come out great!

I don't think you would be able to properly cook 2 eggs at one time unless you were scrambling them. One egg takes up the whole pan.

I have only cooked beans in it but you should be able to cook a small roast. Not sure about a whole chicken - could be tight.

I have only cooked the 3 1/2 lb type of chicken.....I am sure you could go larger for one chicken at a time. If you do two chickens I would stick to the 3 1/2lb type.

I believe a whole chicken would fit, but I believe it is better suited for one pot meals, like ham, potatoes and string beans or stews and soups. I would bake a whole chicken

By 'whole' I'll assume you mean uncut? Some times one will cut a 'whole chicken' into parts before cooking. This pressure cooker needs 16 oz of a liquid inside for it to seal, or it won't operate. A built-in fail safe, before it will operate to cook. Back to your question: A 3 to 4 lb. chicken will take about 20 minutes. Cooking a whole chicken won't be very pretty cooked in pressure cooker unless it's cooked in a sauce/liquid of choice or water/stock but browned first.

What ever the recipe you are following tells you to do. Typically around 2-3 minutes for breaded bite (or couple of bites) sized pieces of chicken at 375. Different sized pieces of chicken and temperatures will call for different cooking times. It is always safest to double check the doneness of the chicken with a meat thermometer to ensure the piece of chicken has been properly cooked.
