How long does it take to cook chicken breast in this and how many can you cook at a time? Can you use chicken breasts straight out of the freezer?

I am not sure about your question. I cook thawed chicken tenderloins on mine. Sorry, can't help you with that one.

I agree with the first response, that the chicken will cook but for how long depends on how thick it is. From experience I will slice it in half if the breast is thick. You asked how many it will cook, if the breast is very large then two, if They are medium then three. The grill does cook evenly and again depended on how thick usually between 20-40 minutes. I would not place frozen chicken or meat on the grill, I defrost it first. I have not cooked a chicken breast with a bone, I have done pork chops and they cook just fine. I do like the way the grill cooks chicken because it is juicy inside. But you have to test anything you cook on the grill according too how you like it. Hope this helps.

A boneless chicken breast might take about 10 minutes, depending on it's thickness.Again, depending on size, you could probably fit 4 breasts on this grill at most. I haven't tried frozen chicken, but I would think you should at least par boil them first. I use mine mostly for burgers and sausage, or sandwiches. I do put frozen burgers on it though, and it takes about 4-5 minutes to cook those. It's not very big, definitely not family size, that's why I got it, I usually only cook for two.

There is no temp gauge on this model so it only cooks at one temp. I wouldn't cook frozen chicken breast on it unless it is thin cutlets. Time would vary depending on how thick it is or if it's boneless or not. You know, for the price it's very versatile so just give it a go.

About 3 or 4 depending on the size of the chicken breasts. You can cook them frozen but better results if thawed. Takes about 8 minutes if thawed. I hope this helps.

I have only used it once to cook chicken, i usually cook fries and calamari, but you can cook about 6 to 8 small pieces of chicken , or 3 to 4 big pieces of chicken . This is a very good frier.

I suppose it depends on the size of the product you put in the basket. I use one basket in addition to the regular basket and can cook two whole chickens. Could not fit another one in there cooking chickens.

Yes, I was afraid to do corn on the cob, that's great. We have a small house, so love the PC because it's not making my house smell like food. I made bone-in chicken breasts in 12 minutes, they were tender and juicy - not dried out like they often are. I'm going to look for Miss Vickie's book at the library. It wasn't there last time, so I picked up Sass' book, and am learning every day. Appreciate the tips very much!!

I used 1/5 of a canister for cooking 10 chicken thighs on medium to low heat, boiling 20 oz. water for tea and then boiled another 20 oz of water in the pan for about 5 min. to loosen the stuck on food. So, for our family of 4, I expect to cook 3 - 4 meals per canister.

of course it cooks! The temperature is 200 F, and for example, meat safe cooking temp is 160-175 F. So 200 is plenty. I cut raw chicken breast, laid on the bottom with some raw veggies on top and in 2 hrs all was cooked just perfectly. I am sure some stuff will need more time but this oven does surely cook. And I think at this temperature, it probably destroys minimum amount of nutrients.

I have never cooked a 4 lb chicken but have cooked a 8 lb turkey breast from frozen in about 2 1/2 to 3 hours. It does take a little longer to cook some things than the book says but does beat not turning the oven on. Food taste great.

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

It has been a long time since I used it, but I dont think so. I could do up to a 4lb chicken in it in 20-30 min. But I cant give you a absolute positive answer. I wouldnt do things for hours. Best bet is to look at the Nordic ware web site and maybe ask them about specific recipies.

No you can not adjust Temperature. The temp is always correct and meat always comes out perfect.. chicken breast 5 min or under and very tender. It is non stick and very easy to clean!! I love mine!

I like it. It only takes a few small chips and it's good. You could stuff 8 chickens in but, the most I have done is 4. It takes 2hr and 45 min. to get the 4 done at 245 degrees. I did a 14lb. turkey but I forgot how long it took. We mostly do chicken.

Yes I mix it up and freeze it as is, have frozen meatloaf, and pre-make burgers and freeze. They also sell breakfast sausage veat, and I do the same since you can get 4 - 8 patties out of both products, depending on size desired! I usually pull it out of freezer day before I wanna reheat them, just be careful as all other thing to not dry them out as reheating

I cook Costco frozen skinless chicken breasts in just a few minutes simply giving them a quick rinse, a little seasoning, then straight on the grill. Works every time.

I set it at 375 degrees and do 4 minutes per pound plus 5 minutes for any size turkey and it comes out great every time! I use this fryer for only turkey so I can not say if that would work for chicken but honestly I don't see why not.

About 10-15 minutes for a big batch. 10-12 for high heat, and 15 for medium heat...makes really good chicken and very hot fryer...hottest out there, and is almost commercial quality.

Contact Heartland, they're very helpful. Trust me though, you do not need the instruction book. Cook everything at nearly 480 (the highest setting) and adjust times to your liking. Boneless, skinless chicken goes from frozen to cooked in 25 minutes for me. A good thick steak cooked fresh takes about 17 minutes to medium.

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.
