Hi and welcome to the forum Ollievollie.
This recipe may help you will cooking (steaming) a whole chicken in the varoma.  You can use the method and timing and then perhaps brown it on top of the stove if you like but we don't eat the skin here anyway so would just remove it. Served with gravy it would be nice and moist and tender.  I roast my chickens in the weber but have done this soy chicken recipe and it is lovely.

That's great OV, did you save the chicken flavoured water for stock?

Will be back shortly - yes, it can be done, but you'll have "Roast" Chicken rather than "Röast Chicken"- The browning of the skin comes from a marinade.  I'm just looking for the recipe we got at advanced steaming class.  BBS.

Sounds interesting Ollievoliie. The idea of 'steamed' roast/bbq etc is a new one for me.. Shall have to see if I am brave enough once my TM arrives.
