Would one section work well for serving fried chicken? It seems small and this is a big event I am working on. If not this any suggestions?

Use all three sections or just keep adding as the chicken gets low. This is an awesome prodoct and will preform well in all your needs.

I don't think one section would hold as much chicken as you would need for a large event, but it is a lifesaver for me when I host holiday parties with 10-12 people. It keeps food warm and is easy to clean.

It is not large enough for a 5 lb chicken. Its for small jobs like Dim Sum, string beans, carrots, etc. I suppose for comparison's sake, a single Cornish Game Hen would fit - just barely.

Sandy, I'm sorry I took so long, I didn't realize my griddle is in the basement and I can't get to it. Broken leg. Just off hand, I would say your space is pretty narrow. BUT, the overall size of that griddle is huge. How long do you have? I will see if I can get someone to do it. JeanetteI see others have answered. Good. It is big enough for hashbrowns, eggs, bacon etc. all at the same time. 'course depends on how many you are feeding. :0)

I would have to say no. It is a small table. Four people with four plates takes up all the room. You can't put more than one serving dish in the middle. If you have plenty of room around the table it would work for plus size people. I am plus size and the chairs are very sterdy.

Yes, it works fine for me. With the lid it is great for chicken. Although some people prefer the sides to be taller and vertical for fried chicken. I also like the large size and the sloped sides make it versatile and allow you to slide a spatula in, for eggs, as example.

Don't have a measuring tape on me right now but you can easely fry half of a big chicken with fries or potatos all at once or four big whole wings or two big breasts and two big legs all with fries. It is big enough I would say.

Forgot to mention, be careful with the time you use when cooking anything. It may sound like not enough (from the booklet) but it usually is just right. If you let something stay in a little longer it will be crispier. I had a chicken in there and let it stay a bit more and it was alomost a total buffalo wing but still not dried out.

I find this a perfect size for 2-4 people. I've used it mostly for soup. Think you would want something more shallow for frying chicken. I like using plain cast iron for that.

I agree with Leonard. For home use it's wonderful but I don't think I'd try to use it for catering. I can't recommend a commercial quality buffet server/warmer either. I sure do wish you great success with your business though! Have a great time!

if it is part of a buffet salad type thing where people only take a small amount then yes but if it is for something intended as a main side then I would say no, more 4-5 people. It looks great though so I would just get two.

Wouldn't recommend it. This is definitely more suited as a prep bowl. It will get too hot to really use as an adequate soup server and depending on how much soup you are serving, (you mention 8 people), it just may not be large enough for your needs. Amazon has some really great, inexpensive serving bowls that will work much better.

this fryer is too small to serve 6 people 3 is maximum I think. You should look for a bigger size. Also, if you're not in the habbit of eating fried foods often, just a frying mesh could be helpful. The oil container is not well sealed , although the filtering function is useful, so you have to keep the container separately from the machine in order not to spill the oil while trying to take out the fryer from the storage.

Basically yes. Oil must cover at least half of chicken piece being fried tho so when you turn it, both sides fry/cook evenly.

I add chicken stock. You'll just have to experiment with the proportions. It's good stuff!

Place it between the grill grates and flavorizor bar. Also for some really good flavor try pecan chips or mix them 50-50 with hickory chips. It will make chicken into a whole new deal.

Thank you so much for the post. The description and the other pictures did help. My main concern is the larger bottom compartment. I always take chicken or some other meat for lunch. Is there a lid to the bottom portion? I just thought it would get everything messy if there was not. The other website descriptions were a little vague. Thanks again. I really appreciate your taking the time to post a rely. Thanks to you I will probably order one and be thrilled! :-)

I agree, use the baking pan for chicken breast, otherwise you might have a mess to clean up. Love mine.
