Review on 🍗 Norpro 265 Stainless Steel Vertical Roaster: Infuser, 8.5 inches, Silver – A Perfect Roasting Solution by Javarie Malick

I bought this product thinking it would make delicious fried chicken. I have to say I was not only wonderfully surprised at how crispy the chicken was, but also how incredibly juicy it was. But I've used some advanced techniques to help with that. First I kept the bird in the fridge for a few hours before taking it out, drying it with paper towels and letting it sit at room temperature for an hour. about four slits along the back for draining fat; poked about 10 holes in the skin for more drainage (didn't want the skin to get wet). Then, with my hands, I loosened the skin over the chest and thighs; Rub a few tablespoons of melted butter under the skin and sprinkle equal parts pepper and baking soda on top. I then placed it on a vertical roasting pan for about an hour and preheated the oven to 325 degrees. Probe and cook until the breast has reached 140°C, then remove from the oven and let stand for about 30 minutes, before turning the oven back to 500°C. Plug sensor back into cooking mode until temperature reaches 160°C or skin is browned and tanned. don't get crispy - whichever comes first. BTW I didn't use the liquid in the vertical roaster as ATK did several experiments with beer, wine, water and air and none of their tasters noticed a difference. Good enough for me so I used air. I ended up with incredibly juicy chicken with skin so crispy you wish you could live long enough to eat one of those days. You will love this vertical roaster.
