How good does it roast chicken?

Excellent. It does run hot so check your chicken before your normal time that you are use to in your regular oven. Mine works better than my oven ever did.

It does a great job for me ...I usually like my chicken soft so I marinate it for at least 2 days and this oven keeps that moisture and juices in locked

I never roasted a chicken in it, but I can caution you that my Rosewill toaster oven lasted less thana year before the heating element went out. Until that happened, I used it primarily ton make toast, roast hot dogs, and bake cookies. I really liked it and wish it had lasted longer.

I suppose that depends on the appetites of those four people. Since I've never made a pot roast I can't remark to that, but for perspective, it is roomy enough for a whole chicken and some veggies, if that helps.

this pot is large enough to roast a 15-16 lb. turkey; so, yes it should be large enough for even the largest chicken you can buy. I've roasted 3 smaller chickens at one time in this pot. for only one chicken, i use a smaller version. the 117 i use mainly for turkeys, and it makes great turkeys.

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.

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 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 have browned chicken on the cooktop and then put it in a 350 oven to finish. Not sure if I would use a temp higher than 400, but general roasting is fine.

It's only for roasting poultry, and should probably only be used for a 3-4lb bird. That being said, it works great!

I haven't done a chicken like that but I have slow roasted pork for mexican style meat and it is certainly much more controllable than my old crock pot (it had 2 settings - high and higher even on the low setting).It is a very gentle heat.

Yes it is an excellent oven that cooks and bakes real well I have not had a heat issue and I have baked at 400 for 1 hour I broil and top brown all the time it is excellent for roasting all meats and poultry it also has a rotisserie that will handle one large chicken duck or goose or two small to medium ones. I have not tried the rotisserie but I am sure it will perform great. I have it on my counter. I baked some lamb at 400 and it cooked excellent in 30 minutes.

Once it is REALLY well broken in you can use it for anything. I used it for bacon about 3 times and I'm confident you can roast veggies with it. Broiling I'm not sure.

so far I made fried rice , general t'so chicken and chicken with roasted peanuts and it has work good. I use the biggest or hottest cooker trying to keep the base even on the hot surface so the sides get hot evenly.

Believe it or not, I just used it last week for the first time. I made grilled chicken, which was very, very good. It did taste like I had put it on the outside gas grill. I hope this helps

No, but that might be because we haven't used it 5 times yet as we were so disappointed 2 out of 3 times we did. First time was great. Roast chicken worked like a charm. However the chicken wings and pork chops we tried following that were both tough and tasteless. Not sure it was worth the money to just use to cook the roast chicken since I can buy them at the store for about $7.00 already done.

I only roast/smoke chickens using this roaster. It is to small for a turkey.

This roaster is probably too big for what you usually cook. If available, I would go down in size. This one is good for a medium sized turkey or for a large roast (or really large chicken).

This depends on where your going to used the roaster. If on a grill, a large (7 to 8 lbs.) chicken would probable fit. I live in a studio and have a small oven. Therefore, I usually use a small bird (3 to 4 lbs) sitting on a baking sheet on the lowest level of my oven and still have problems fitting the bird.
