I purchased this a little more than a month ago and absolutely love it, the steam crisp function has me hooked! For roasting chickens, the only thing you need to do is season it (to your liking), spray with oil, add 1/2 cup of water, then set it for 60 minutes at 365°. Boom, that's it, best chicken ever! Crispy on the outside yet the meat falls right off the bone! I use my Ninja several times a week and am so glad I purchased!
