how long does it take for a whole chicken to cook?

By 'whole' I'll assume you mean uncut? Some times one will cut a 'whole chicken' into parts before cooking. This pressure cooker needs 16 oz of a liquid inside for it to seal, or it won't operate. A built-in fail safe, before it will operate to cook. Back to your question: A 3 to 4 lb. chicken will take about 20 minutes. Cooking a whole chicken won't be very pretty cooked in pressure cooker unless it's cooked in a sauce/liquid of choice or water/stock but browned first.

It may depend on what size the entire chicken is - otherwise, my suggestion is to cut a whole chicken into pieces to fit into the pan! Good luck!

Sorry, ....I haven'y cooked any bone-in-chicken.I would imagine the cook time would be much different and the heat setting lower to cook the meat through.The thermometer seems the best way to make sure.

Depends on the type and thickness of the meat. Probably 10 to 12 hours. Can't really answer without more information.

I did a 3 1/2 or 4 lb chicken, but I butterflied it (cut out the back bone), I think it took about 45-50 minutes to cook through. You have to use a med to med-lo heat setting to keep the skin from burning, and you have to keep an eye on it and turn it often. Overall, the chicken tasted great, but I thought it was to time consuming since you have to watch it and turn it frequently so I only did it once. I do vegetables all the time. For small items that may slip through the grate, I put a piece of foil over the grate before adding the veggies, or I use a foil pan. I coat the vegetables with a little olive oil, salt/pepper or other seasonings. Squash, zucchini, and eggplant can go right on the grate, just oil the grate well. For corn on the cob, I wrap the ears in foil with a little olive oil and whatever seasoning I want to put on them and put them on the grate.

Yes! this is the perfect size to cook a whole chicken! I have done this several times. This is the best crock-pot!

Say you have 3 chicken legs in the oven. The first one will temp in about 6 seconds, the next one near 1 second and the last in about 1 second. The initial one to get to its highest temperature will take the longest.

I have not done this, but I suspect that the probe would read the current temperature of each piece of chicken as soon as you insert the probe. It may take 20 seconds or so to read the temp.

It depends on hot hot you keep the fire and how high above the fire the chicken is but we did a turkey breast about that size and it took 3 hours. I recommend using a thermometer to check the temp every once in a while. It goes slowly at first but then in the end it comes up to temp more quickly.

Sorry but I am not sure. I usually cook a whole chicken on it...about 3 to 5 lbs. You probably could put a small turkey or capon on it but I think the legs would be far over the sides so you would have to put it on a flat pan in the oven to catch the dripping juices. Hope that makes sense.sml

I usually cook 3 cups and it takes 35 to 40minutes. So I would guess 2 cups might take 30 to 35 minutes.

I would say approximately 20 to 25 minutes depending on how many cups you are cooking. I usually cook 2 cups.

you can cook meet but i will not advise to cook a full chicken. Saussage or small part of a chicken is ok. you cannot add butter or oil so it is cook only by steam

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.

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.

By the way, the cook time guide provided is dead on for chicken and turkey. I haven't used it for any other type of meat yet. It works especially well with brined whole chicken.

It doesn't matter, it doesn't work. 1.5 hours to thaw a thin 7 oz chicken breast.
