We often cook small chickens or portions of meat for dinner. How well does the Hamilton Beach Easy Reach perform in roasting a small chicken or other meats? What are the best settings to ensure the meat is cooked evenly and remains juicy?

Hi,
The cooking chamber of the Hamilton technically didn’t have enough space for a 3 lb whole chicken as required in our Whole Roasted Chicken test. If you choose to roast a whole chicken in this oven, we recommend flattening the chicken out, cutting it open, or cutting it into pieces.
We chose 350 F for our test which resulted in no apparent caramelization on the chicken skin. So, if you decide to use this oven, we'd recommend 450 F for 1 hour for a whole chicken and 450 F for 15 min for chicken pieces.
Hope this help!
