can you fry chicken in it?

I never tried that, but I have made steaks in it and they turn out delicious. Chicken should fry really well in the Foreman pan.

No, you can't fry chicken in it. You can grill or saute chicken but not fry. It isn't deep enough to hold enough oil to really "fry" chicken.

Definitely, I always remove the basket to fry chicken parts, onion rings, hash brown patties and fried green tomatoes. Wonderful fryer, best I've had and believe me I've had all the FAMOUS CHEF Ones and they can't hold a candle to this one.

Possibly, I have never tried it. The chicken would cook down eventually, but might not be able to use cover initially.

Yes. I even use it to cook chicken thighs, chicken breast, pork chops, and fries.

It's 2.5" deep. If you're talking deep frying, no. Get yourself a deep fryer for that. But for frying chicken in an inch or so of oil, etc, yes. People cook fried chicken in frying pans all the time, and this one is no exception. I have fried and stir fried, and pan fried in mine. It does great pork chops and steaks. I do a cross between pan-fried and oven baked chicken in it. They all turn out very successfully, moist and tender, but properly cooked, and it can do a very nice crispy exterior, if you want it. I do my 'world famous' fried squash parmesan, and it's the best I have ever tasted. In other words, it's very versatile, and can turn out pretty much whatever you want. I love mine. (it's easy to clean, too) ENJOY

It will cook anything you put in it, but a couple of problems: 1) It does a poor job of getting to and maintaining fry temperature; mine couldn't get past 340, and quickly dropped lower when food was added. 2) It's a lot smaller than the advert pics imply; those must be pigmy chickens they show. Mine wouldn't hold more than 4 drumsticks (chicken). I returned mine, and now I use a dutch oven. It isn't automatic, but it cooks.

Yes. Definitely. It's good for cooking, it's not my favorite for frying food, it's slow and not hot enough.

Use PAM or a tablespoon of oil, heat pan on medium, and put in meat or whatever you wish to fry lightly. If you are frying chicken, for example, you will need to use about almost an inch or more of peanut oil (for high heat frying), preheat, and immerse coated chicken pieces in the oil. Always stand back from pan when you do this. As the previous comments wrote, this is not a non stick pan.

Yes, you can fry in this skillet. I bought it to camp with which means I use it for everything. I even popped pop corn in it. It is bigger than I expected.

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.

Yes it will fry burritos or corn dogs and french fries, it is deep enough. I even fry chicken pieces in it.

Since I roasted an almost 4 lb chicken with vegetables in my 110, I would think you could; would like to try this myself with a turkey breast.

Never used it for frying, just broiling.Since I wrote the review my unit quit working so I sent back,I believe at their expense.New unit also went out and I gave up.It cooks the best chicken that I have ever cooked and I loved it but it just clogged up the light socket I guess with the grease released.I feel like an addict because I still think about ordering another.It has to work longer for others but I had bad luck.

This frying pan is a no fry pan. You can however bake the chicken in it as long as you do it on the grill.

I have never tried that but I see no reason why you couldn't. I have fried bacon and eggs on it, did fine. Hope this helps. I love mine.

The pan is pretty deep, so I don't see why not. I've done some pan frying but no deep frying in mine.

You can never deep fry in a pressure cooker, if that's what you mean (it is a fire hazard). You can saute the chicken in oil first, but then you must still cook it with at least one cup of any liquid except oil, such as stock or wine.
