The Flame Vertical Chicken Roaster makes moist, tasty chicken with little fuss.
The Flame Vertical Chicken Roaster gives you various options for cooking your chicken. You can put it on a barbecue grill, under the broiler or into your oven for great, crispy chicken. The design of the roaster makes seasoning your poultry a snap by adding beer, wine or juice. The bottom of this pan catches all the drippings for making flavorful gravy. For those who cannot find the Flame Roaster locally, a Bundt pan is a functional alternative.
Grilling Technique
Buy a chicken that fits on the Flame Roaster inside your barbecue grill when the lid is closed. Rinse the whole chicken completely. Season with salt and pepper. For a juicer bird, take a small peeled orange and insert it into the cavity near the wings. Lightly oil the interior of the roaster for easier clean up, then put the bird leg end down onto the middle of the pan. Preheat the barbecue to 350 degrees. Cook, turning the chicken every half hour for about 1.5 hours, or until it reaches an internal temperature of 160 degrees. Remove the pan from the heat and let the poultry rest for 10 minutes before carving.
Oven Method
Preheat your oven to 450 degrees. Meanwhile, rinse, pat and season the exterior of the chicken. Gently loosen the skin in the center of the breast and slip a pat of butter underneath for even greater moistness. Pour a blend of beer, wine or juice with your favorite poultry seasonings into the center of the Flame Roaster. Secure the chicken over top of the receptacle, legs down. Cover the tips of the wings with aluminum foil to keep them from getting overdone. Move the roaster into the oven for 15 minutes, watching for a rich, brown color in the skin. Turn the heat down and continue to cook until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 160 degrees. On average cooking time equates to 16 minutes of roasting time, including browning, per pound of bird.
Preparing Other Food
The Flame Vertical techniques are adaptable to other foods. The design is similar to a bundt pan, meaning you can use it to bake cakes. Other options include using the pan as a meatloaf form or gelatin mold. The design cooks heated food evenly without burning and the center opening makes a perfect spot for garnishes once you release your finished food from the pan. Just remember to treat the surface of the roaster before using it for baking or cooking for faster clean up.
