The instructions say to mix the chicken pieces with the other ingredients. I know this will sound dumb, but is that precooked chicken or raw?

I tend to use raw or partially cooked chicken because I feel the paste works best if it is cooked a little with your chicken too. never tried with fully pre cooked, i have to say that will probably taste very bad. p.s. No question is a dumb question

Precooked! We always cool the chicken first and then add the packet. This is the best brand! So yummy! :)

I always cook my chicken first, I don't necessarily cook it thoroughly but I do seal in all of them juices, I don't think you have to but I do just for piece of mind, other than that I follow ,the instructions on the package and i khave never had a 'failure'

Raw chicken. You put raw chicken, water, the curry mix together and bring to boil. It simmers for 25 minutes so you must start with raw chicken. I like putting carrots in mines.

No, its not a dumb question! If you use pre cooked chicken the paste wont get mixed with the chicken to its core. if its uncooked then the chicken smell will replace with the spices and its aroma.

My wife and I just cooked it tonight. We have had the same question but have cooked the chicken first...almost thoroughly before adding the paste, butter, and water. We then simmer in a covered pan for about 15 minutes and feel safe that everything is cooked well but not overcooked. We don't turn up the heat at the end as suggested but I'm sure that would be fine to do.

I've never done it, but according to people on BGE forum, leave the chicken in the fridge, uncovered, overnight before cooking.

Sanitation aside, I do not know as I have never tried this.....however, from my experience with how this cuts, chicken would not be a problem whatsoever........

what type of oil did you use? and when you put chicken in was it COLD & dry or room temp and moist? Peanut or olive oil I find to work the best.

paste. and don't do what I do -- I used half a jar for a tray of chicken and it was way too hot. A tablespoon or two would have been plenty!

It doesn't say "raw", but if it is uncooked it must be raw, wouldn't you say? USA Product, and tastes really good.

Raw is apparently not processed, but pure. Any mixes I understand are processed.

The unit is not designed for use with uncooked food. If a recipe calls for uncooked meats, it should be fully cooked before combining with other ingredients and heating it in the unit.

I try to get the point to the middle of the meat. Not sure if thats the best way to do it but it makes the most sense to me. Last part to cook is the middle and want to make sure the meat, especially chicken, is not raw.

I make chicken jerky from raw chicken. Cut drying time a little and finish in 200 degree oven for 30 minutes.

I find the skin is cooked all the way around (LOVE the skin from a rotisserie), it never sits in its own juices, but bastes instead. I have never had a dry home cooked rotisserie chicken, but I have had many that were baked. I never bake chickens anymore, we make 1-2 chickens a week in our Ronco rotisserie. I just sprinkle on Emeril's seasoning, leave for 2 hours and voila! another great, juicy chicken dinner. BTW...these are way better than store bought, IMO.

I had the same problem and am going to buy a wire-style basket to use for fried chicken instead of the basket that comes with it. I'm intrigued by one of the other answers suggesting to place the chicken into the oil with tongs for a minute before letting the chicken fall into the basket and might try that too.

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.

With Honest Kitchen Force, I only use it (Force) and Blue Buffalo Wilderness (dry) for the dog, with dehydrated chicken jerky I make myself. For the cat, I give him the meat raw. I intend to start introducing ground chicken wings (including bones) and thighs, but haven't yet.

I do not believe it 'has' to be mixed with anything else. I do however also feed my cockateils some Zupreme fruit flavor just for variety in a separate dish

I haven't cooked a chicken yet. I would think it would take about as long as an oven baked chicken but would probably need to cook at a temperature about 10 degrees lower than in the oven.

Yes, it is raw. If it is cooked, it will loose its resistance starch properties & cause blood sugar to go up.
