Can you cook a whole chicken?

It's not big enough for a whole chicken but if you have pieces of chicken, yes.

I don't think you can but if you want to cook chicken as a stew i do it with any meat and add water and vegetable, but to use the pressure cooking as a frying is not meant to be, you can't put boiling oil under pressure !!!!! you need to buy a frying pan design to hold plenty of boiling oil .

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.

I do not think you would be able to do that. When cooking a chicken you place the chicken over the tubed center (about 3" tall) of the dish. Inside that "tube" you ad liquid which steams up through the cavity of the chicken. Hope this helps you.

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

The steam gets very hot, so you can probably cook chicken in it. I would just check that it's cooked through before blending. I personally cooked the chicken in a pan with a little olive oil, then blended it with steamed sweet potatoes and apples.

Sorry, ....I haven'y cooked any bone-in-chicken.I would imagine the cook time would be much different and the heat setting lower to cook the meat through.The thermometer seems the best way to make sure.

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.

No. Never tried raw chicken but should cook fine if it is fairly flat. (Raw steak cooks perfectly)

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

I cooked a 7 lb organic chicken 4 or 5 times very successfully, if that helps. Crispy skin, moist inside -- best chicken ever!

This deep fryer has a capacity of 3 liters. We do not recommend deep frying a whole chicken in this deep fryer. Chicken should be cut up into pieces and it is important not to over fill the basket. Food should be no higher than the top of the basket.

Yes, the chicken is cooked. Can be used in soups, salad or any dish you wish to make with chicken. Try it!

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.

We were able to do a cut up whole fired chicken when it was at max temp. Much more and it looses too much heat.

you can cook meet but i will not advise to cook a full chicken. Saussage or small part of a chicken is ok. you cannot add butter or oil so it is cook only by steam
