Is this big enough to roast a whole chicken in? If not what pan do you recommend for oven roasting chickens in? Thanks!

Hi, If the chicken is on the smaller size, yes it would be big enough. A five pound - no- a 3-4 would fit ok. I believe, although I have not used it for a chicken yet.

A chicken would just fit, I don't recommend this pan and I'm sorry I purchased it. It is more like aluminun instead of stainless steel.

If it was a Costco chicken (on steroids) no it would not be big enough. If you are doing 2 standard size chicken breasts it would be just fine. This pan is 1/2 the size of a "normal" full size oven roasting pan. It is great for one or two steaks or one or two other types of meat or chicken for two people. It is not the pan you would use for a family of 3 or 4 or more.

Complete dimensions follow: outside diameter handle to handle 19.5 inches; outside diameter of rim 17 inches; inside diameter of rim 16 3/8 inches; inside bottom diameter 14 inches; outside bottom diameter 14.5 inches. Yes it would make a good broiling/roasting pan. Use a rack of some kind and no sticking. It does have a permanent non stick surface. I keep it lightly oiled. It's great for anything where you want a really hot cooking surface, like skillet potatoes, or seared beef, or vegetables. We made a huge paella last night, worked great. Hope this helps.

You probably can if you don't choose a very large chicken and don't mind cleaning the oven afterwards...I have baked salmon in this little oven and it worked perfectly. Good luck!

Hello Ms Deavers, There is plenty of space for a whole chicken to grill on a WEBER. Case in point---I also cook whole turkeys up to 19 pounds with NO problem. Be sure that you are looking at the full size brand name WEBER, as there are other grills out there that are too shallow to do this kind of grilling. Hope this helps and success with your new Weber.

I cook my chickens at 425 for the first 20 minutes so I know the Norpro can be used at that temperature. I also use a convection oven. Could you roast four birds? I'm not sure four birds would fit in a regular sized house oven. Two for sure would fit, maybe three birds.

We had a smaller version of this for our family of 4. It works well for some things (mostly desert or sides like beans and stews), but we also got the bigger size (8 quart) because we wanted to be able to cook bigger things like a whole chicken or a roast.

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

Haven't roasted chicken yet, but that's why I bought it. I called all clad, but they couldn't give me an answer about the thickness of the pan. I took it out, it's just as heavy bottomed as my other huge all clad roaster, so I'll jet you know! It's a good size for a single chicken or a turkey breast, it a 3-4 standing rib. The only thing different is the handles come out from the pan, not up. Let me know your result!

Never thought of measuring item but it does fit and I have a normal size roasting pan that fits a whole chicken. It may be small but it does fit well in the pan. You may also purchase it and return it if it is not to your liking. I am very happy with the one I purchased.

Hi EH,I haven't try the oven with two chickens yet, but by the look of the internal size I doubt they would fit. Perhaps two 2-3 lbs chickens may, but not anything bigger than that. I hope this will be of some help to you, good cooking.Shik Lam

This piece is my new favorite in the kitchen. For roasting, broasting, etc., it is awesome. It is big enough for several or use it for just one or two. Roasted chicken can be boring, but with my dutch oven, apparently you can create it a million different ways. I'm still not tired of it after several months!!!!

I find the roaster does not brown as well as an oven, but if you crank up the temp for the last 20 minutes of so of the cooking time you will get most of the browning you are looking for. One caution, if you have stuffing in the roaster with the chicken, the higher heat will dry your stuffing and you will get some sticking for sure. I use my roaster mostly for things I want to simmer for hours, chili, marinara, bar-b-que pork, Brunswick stew, etc. or for dishes I'm going to take elsewhere, very portable and easy to reheat. It also cooks a great ham. Hope this helps.

It's actually smaller than it seems from the picture on line. It's only about 6 or 7 inches, but it's VERY stable for large or small chickens. Depending on your oven, you might have to put on bottom oven rack, but it should fit just fine! Cleans up easy and stores easy too! I love it.

The answer is two inches. My pan is a 12" skillet. You can fit a whole extra piece of chicken in a 12" pan that won't fit in a 10". Frankly, you need both, and I already had a 10" skillet. I would have bought the 14" but my stove probably isn't large enough.

Big! Roasters generally come in either a 12"x14" or 14"x16" configuration. This is one of the 14"x16" pans, so any bird that doesn't hang over the edges too much will work. The size of your oven will more likely be the limiting factor.

Not as a "rotisserie" exactly but I do roast whole chickens 3-4 lbs in my Breville Smart Oven - it does an excellent job. Also to make lass of a mess, I use a oven roaster with a lid. There is one model by Granite Ware 13" that fits in the Breville. Granite Ware is cheap material/quality but does the job well.

No, the dimensions in the oven are just under 12"x11.5"... I really do like this oven... I think the chicken shown is a bit exaggerated... I use it for small stuff and it does this well.
