Is this dish large enough for a 5 pd whole chicken?

I'm not sure. I use it for meatloaf with 2 and a half pounds of ground beef.

Happy Scholar I have more info, the inside dimensions at the bottom of the dish are 7 & 1/2 " x 6".

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!

It might be a tight squeeze. I really bought it for the depth for small lasagnas, etc. For whole chickens I would use a larger vessel to let air circulate around it (& possible add veggies). Hope this helps

I cooked an 8 lb whole chicken... and that looked to be about the max size... however, I will be giving my ronco rotisserie away as it is too much hassle with the clean up... I'd rather just grill the chicken... or whatever

I wouldn't say a large bird. Something small maybe average size would fit. It's an average size crock pot.

You definitely can but if you mean whole chicken, and depending on the size of the bird I would prefer a roaster pan or one deep enough to catch the juice and grease.

A small or medium one...probably. I never cook a whole chicken. I just recently used this to cook 4 lbs. of pork carnitas and had plenty of room, but of course there's no bones to deal with.

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.

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

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.

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 use my 5 1/2 qt dutch oven for meals for my husband and me. Plenty of room. I think you could easily double my recipes and cook for 4 with it. Probably be good for pan frying chicken -- might reduce the spatter because of the taller sides than a frying pan would have.

Not really. I actually like the dish, but was a bit surprised at how small it was when it arrived. It looks much larger in the photo. I used it for a small bundt type cake and it couldn't hold all of the batter from my normal cake recipe.

Although it hasn't been used yet, I do think it seems large enough for a whole chicken.

I have to measured it. But for me, the dish is not tiny or very big. It has a nice size.

Probably the largest they make. A chicken will fit in the medium, with not much room for anything else.

Probably not unless it is a very very small chicken (in reference to the small size). It is about 6 eggs long, and 1 1/4 eggs wide (measuring with the long side of the egg)

I have been able to cook enough for 2 people in the 9 quart. It actually holds quite a bit in the 2 slots. Only draw back is tub depth which limits cooking like a whole chicken or such. If you are planning to cook large items then go with 11 qt. If you don't mind cutting things up then the 9 is OK.

I believe so! I have made whole large chickens with vegetables with plenty of room to spare. I love this machine - it does everything. It's definitely a second oven - you will love it. I have had the six quart, the twelve quart and the eighteen quart for over 20 years. LOVE THEM! I would say the six quart size makes a roomy "slow cooker." If you plan to make larger meals, the twelve quart is probably the way to go.
