Can you fit a whole chicken cut up in here?

Have not tried... But I would think you could easily fit even a large roosting bird (cut up) in this thing.

As the other customers have stated, YES you can do whole chickens in it. I'd go for the larger clay pot as it can be used for everything . . .I suggest you do not limit it's use. I use mine to roast veggies and make large batched of bread pudding for potlucks. Enjoy and Use it!

No. It is too small. Maybe a Cornish hen, but a whole chicken would overflow the oil.

The upper grate would have to be removed, otherwise there is plenty of room for a beer can chicken. Removing the grate is easy.

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

Turkey legs are pretty large. I have used it for chicken legs, which works fine as long as they are not frozen. You can put chicken legs in whole. If you cut up the turkey legs first, it might not be a problem. My concern would be the size of the bones in the turkey legs.

Definitely not. You can 'comfortably' fit a ~7lb chicken, but that's it. And be very careful - the tray & grate "tip" backwards as you pull them out - you HAVE to hold the tray/wire shelf steady until it 'catches' on the side support again (it's like there's a 'dead space' in the middle where the tray has nothing to rest on).

No. A large chicken fits well but you will need the larger smoker for a turkey.

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.

A large chicken can fit on top of this. It will fit n a stove. The chicken comes out really moist and delicious.

only if it was the size if a chicken. The opening is too small for a turkey. What a great Idea, though. Rhese thinfs are awesome and you get some really tasty meals with throwing in some veggies and meat.

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.

Yes plenty big enough for a whole large chicken and you have room for vegetables to go with it.

I haven't tried cooking a whole chicken in this crock yet, so can't speak to that size. However, I do cook roasts in it regularly. Three pounds, plus onion, potatoes and carrots is about all I can fit into it. If you're only cooking the meat, then I'd guess you could fit a 5 lb. roast. HTH

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.

Not much of a chicken strangler myself, but yes, I would say so. It's quite broad, so provided that your chicken doesn't attempt to stand up in the pot, I'm reasonably confident that it would work fine, with plenty of veggies. (I am assuming that you're talking about the 8 quart pot.)

You could ... if it were small enough. Only problem is the lid is plastic it would burn. It's the size of two chickens put side by side ... if that helps. Growing up, my grandma just used tin foil to cover her turkey and it turned out delicious. I've cooked chickens in it and it cooks them wonderfully -- I mainly use it for deep dish lasagna. Hope that helps. The plastic lid doesn't lock. BUT it sure is nice to use if you want to marinate or put things in the fridge. It's strong so other things can sit on top of it. PS ... the spatula --- looks weird but I tell ya, I use it every time I cook and need something solid to lift heavier and bigger pieces of food. You could ... if it were small enough.
