Thoroughly enjoy your videos. I’ve been using a Halogen for several years now & plan on using more to save on conventional gas oven usage, your easy to follow instructions in a normal surroundings so much better than reading from a recipe book, I’m only cooking for two now which is on par with your good selves, quantities etc. I’ve now followed successfully your roast beef & pork videos & will now try roasting gammon. Well done. Maggie
Been gifted one of these by my lovely inlaws, just found your channel ❤️ by far yours is the most informative for using this. Glad you are still creating content too ❤️ subscribed 😊
Brilliant Jan, this is the way I'll cook it, a very trust worthy video exactly what I was looking for regarding cooking a chicken in the halogen, thank you so much for doing this video
Thank you. Very helpful. I have just started using the Halowave Aircooker Deluxe - which has a rotating rotisserie. That makes for even cooking without having to turn the chicken half-way through. Also, it makes it more credible to roast potatoes underneath as there's less watery juices dripping because water content evaporates, leaving fat to drip (plus I use less oil/fat to begin with as it "aircooks" instead). I successfully tried 80 minutes at 180 degrees C on the rotating rotisserie for a 3 pound chicken, plus leave to rest for 20 mins.
I very recently brought a halogen oven here in the UK and am still getting used to it. but so far I love it, it is so compact and light when not filled. Great videos BTW.
No problem. I would say for most foods, it cooks much, much faster than a conventional oven but for a chicken or other big meat etc, for example one 2KG or more you need to cook for atleast 1hr 10mins min, I would say, give 45 mins per KG min. I have a 12l Elgento model, the bulb is very bright and the bulb turns on and off during cooking, I am assuming it is a normal function due to the thermostat etc.
I have an Instant Pot Pressure cooker that Cooks wonderfully fast and quiet well. I wanted something to pour out some of the creations into and sear or crisp or Brown the Meats. This looks perfect 👌 for that. ❤️😊😊
I use 220 and turn the chicken at 40 mins. Bottom up first. Then cook another 40 mins. Always perfect! Stuff it like a turkey and under the skin as well and oh my!!!! Just the best chicken I have ever done.
Love watching these videos, I have a halogen, and they have made me rethink using it, I was going to buy an air fryer, another thing to change my world! !ol, Keep going so calm, pleasant to watch keep them coming, Thank you.
FABULOUS VIDEOS!!!! I've just bought my very first halogen oven. It's a 12L Andrew James, with a hinged lid. I've tried following the instructions in the manual/cookbook provided, but somehow the cook times just don't work. I enjoyed your video on cooking/steaming veg and also cooking chicken. They were very helpful. I wonder, do you perhaps have a very basic video on halogen cooking, please, for a novice like me? All the best, Jeanette - London.
I bought the same Andrew James halogen and I am thrilled with the easy way the food is cooked. I also often microwave carrots for 4 minutes, then wrap in foil with a knob of butter (and nothing else) and place the foil parcel in the halogen alongside the meat and the carrots are just beautiful. I also bought a Halogen recipe book which I have found useful.
Thank thanks wow first time I have used my halogen ovens for the first time and it had to be a chicken it is gorgeous so succulents problems getting out of the bowl it was so tender it kept pulling apart better than big gas oven never use it again now a gas oven thanks thanks again my Christmas dinner was beautiful Merry Christmas to you all
Thanks for your great videos. I have just bought my first halogen cooker Re your point about not being able to do the roasties with the chicken, I don't see this as a problem as meat should always be left to rest for at last 20 mins before carving. I cooked my fist chicken today for way longer than you said and it was still slightly underdone and had to go back. I had tried doing some potatoes with it. I will do it on it's own next time and see what happens. Thanks for the 'season all' tip!
Regardless how you cook a chicken or any bird for that matter, it always a good idea to slide a knife under the skin to separate the skin from the meat. The reason is to make the skin much nicer when the chicken is ready to eat :-) Great video.
Usually I give it around 1 hour 20 mins jan and turn it 3 - 4 times but yours looks superb and delicious, I guess people must keep in mind what type of halogen cooker they are using as they all differ slightly concerning cooking times etc.... Anyway thanks for another great tips video and more importantly.... ENJOY YOUR ROAST CHICKEN SUNDAY DINNER :)
I have always enjoyed your Halogen Oven videos. Recently the bulb inside mine failed and since they had provided a spare when I purchased it, I attempted to replace it. Sadly it was too complicated and so I couldn't manage it. Perhaps you might try and produce a video guide one day. Cheers.
Wow I had my oven for 12 months and after seeing this I realized that mine does have the spacer its just been between the glass bowl and the stand this whole time lol. This will come in handy
Awesome job. I have a Turbo Convection Oven that my dear friend gave me, and I just can’t wait to test it out. Thanks for sharing your video. Looks delicious by the way. 🙂
That looks amazing!! 🤤 I’m trying: 480F at 40 minutes, (thawed) 7lb chicken Oil, pepper, salt. Garlic, rosemary, lemon No giblets inside Currently cooking breast slide up. 🤷🏻♀️ we will see how it comes out.
I've always worried about cooking chicken in the halogen, but will try it! It's been a life saver in this hot weather though not having to put the oven on! Hope you are both well ☺️
You put the chicken breast down for 35 min without ring then turn the chicken breast up and using the ring for another 25-30 min then wait 15 min and your chicken is perfection
As usual dereton33, a very informative video, and well presented; and it's inspired me to definitely think about buying one of these halogen ovens. Have you done a video of it cooking roast potatoes? I'd quite like to see it if you have. You and your wife, Jan, make wonderful, and very interesting video's... Thanks to you both for all the time you put into them. :)
+dereton33 ...my pleasure.i've been using mine for 10 yrs i've only ever used the ring a few times..you really only need it if you have something very large to roast and is too close to the element if you do use it you need to turn the temperature up a lot higher than without it as it seems to lose some of its heat ...also for the last half an hour if there is not enough room around the roast for spuds etc you can put the higher rack on over the meat and cook the spuds pumpkin whatever ..then the ring might be an advantage ........David ..
Cheers Jan.Was going to get one of these but think I'll stick with my combi microwave/fan oven,can do my chicken and potatoes together in that and the outlay costs in buying one of these will counter act the saving in electric.
I thought one of these might be a good compromise between microwave and conventional oven. I like my food to look cooked so microwave is usless for me, but reading the comments it looks like these don't exactly work like they show them on the TV. Lot of people saying chicken took 4hrs or it was dry. dont know who to believe.
Happy Birthday, just go for it. Read others posts and you'll get a good idea of what works best, and get a recipe book, Amazon? Good luck. At least with a halogen you can see things cook.
Maybe you could repeat the temperature a bit more as I think you only mentioned the temp once and that were 200c whereas you mentioned the time quite a few times as the video went on I forget what temp you put it on? So maybe at the end of your video you could do a quick recap on the temp and the time it take to cook as people don't want to be cooking a chicken at 60c for 1.10mins
Had an issue just now when lowering the chicken into the pre heated oven....burned fingers ! Yea I probably should have put the rack in during the pre heating process as lowering in the chicken by itself would have been easy. My resolution was to thread string through both sides of the rack, tie the ends and create a cradle to make the lowering process simple and...pain free. How do others get round this ?
@@dereton33 Awww that's way too sensible! But noted for next time. My bird was 1.6kg and I gave it 90mins at 200c, turning it over half way through (initially breast down) and I never needed the extension ring or tin foil near the end. The skin was crispy and the meat ultra moist - although a little red in places along the leg bones, so bined those parts. Overall, a success, but due to the 200c temp, no faster than a conventional oven.
Thank you. I just found one at a house that I was cleaning up and it didn't have instructions but I'm going to try your chicken instructions with the bottom side up first and see how it goes. I also have a pot roast I'd like to try in it if you have any suggestions with that.
Hey! I have the same oven but i dont have the spacer. Have you tried cooking it without a spacer or does it burn from being too close to the lamp? Thanks!
I thought that with the flow of hot air there is no need to turn meats. Other than electricity savings I don't see an advantage of using one of these vs a standard oven. What am I missing?
Also the advantage is that if you just don’t have a regular oven, and/or can’t afford one - one of these does EVERYTHING a regular oven does, literally. I got mine for $20NZD second hand (I think that’s like $USD?) and am so impressed with everything I’ve been able to cook in it - and so much more quickly than a regular oven too!! The ONLY thing I struggled slightly with to start with was making gravy after a roast, as it’s hard to catch the juices. But I now know I can use tinfoil under the rack or just stick everything directly in the bowl, and scrape out the juice after. I still have two stovetop elements working on the broken big oven, so transfer the juices into a pan for gravy making. If I didn’t have those, I’d only need to buy one of those little plug-in double elements. So yeah they’re definitely convenient for people in a tight spot financially. Everyone was telling me to buy a microwave - THANK GOD I USED THE MONEY ON THIS INSTEAD!!!
Jan where do you buy your Season All big shaker from as the small Season All is £1.65 from supermarket and I think yours would work out a lot cheaper.....Thanks
That looked nice! How much was your Halogen oven and where from? Also what are the benefits of using one over a gas or electric oven? I know the halogen ones don't heat the room up like a normal oven does though
jonnygti The Halogen oven is around £40.00 from Amazon. The main benefit is that it uses half the power of an electric oven. The food is just tastier when cooked in there.
Hi. I'm paranoid when it comes to cooking chicken in my halogen. I've always checked to ensure that the meat is cooked but get worried that sometimes a red liquid is in the cavity and there is some redness around the bone joints. I've read this can be the case with young birds (it's supposedly not blood) due to mass rearing techniques. In your opinion drawing on your experience is thia right?
+dereton33 thankyou for the quick reply,i only got my tower air oven this Christmas (1st ever halogen) and i would be lost without your video's,so thankyou very much xx
Just bought a Visicook halogen oven a few weeks ago and about to cook my first whole chicken in it...hence checking for hints and tips as the crappy info that came with it said 10mins/lb at 240c which clearly is nonsense. As for the splatter when cooking meats, mine came with a splatter guard to fit under the lamp which has worked well so far.
need a sharper knife , i par boil my potatoes and put them in for the last 20 mins of cooking time use a little of the chicken fat to coat / lovely and crispy
I roasted a "chicken on a tray" as you can buy at Tesco, Lidl and all the other supermarkets and the tray is handy as basin for the dripping fat, while the chicken can be put on the low rack. imgur.com/a/CZeeWIJ . I grilled the bird 20min at 180degrees (C) with extension ring, starting its back (put a slice of lime in it), the turned and another 20min on top. Turned again for 10min @200C and finally on the top for another 10min: It was lovely! imgur.com/a/g3pptd8
The best way is to have a non alcohol addled brain when you first thing buy a halogen oven then you'd remember how to do it and not have to look it up.
Nonsense....200 degrees, 30 mins breast side down, let it rest for 10 minutes then 40 minutes backside down, perfect crispy skin and juicy melt in the mouth meat
Thank you for sharing this. I just bought a Halogen Cooker and about to cook a chicken, so it was helpful.
Glad it was helpful!

Jim Lindsay No problem Jim. Jan.
I do mine at 200 45 mins on both sides but do the bottom first its always perfect
Is that 45 mins each side , so 1 hour 30 in total ?

That looks amazing!! 🤤
I’m trying:
480F at 40 minutes, (thawed) 7lb chicken
Oil, pepper, salt. Garlic, rosemary, lemon
No giblets inside
Currently cooking breast slide up. 🤷🏻♀️ we will see how it comes out.
Can we cone to dinner. Ha ha.
I'm so glad I stumbled on you video first xxx
Thanks Val.
You didn't appear to give temperature!! Otherwise, very helpful.
That's the thing Jan, too much guesswork, I think I would turn it half way too.
Very helpful, thanks. Just weighed my chicken at 1.4kg so this is perfect.
I've always worried about cooking chicken in the halogen, but will try it! It's been a life saver in this hot weather though not having to put the oven on! Hope you are both well ☺️
❤❤TheMadEmzFamily❤❤ Nice to hear from you again, kind regards, Al and Jan.
Jan is well fit! :)
Haha bill you dirty dog you
200 Degrees but should have mentioned more deliberately I watched twice to get the temperature
You put the chicken breast down for 35 min without ring then turn the chicken breast up and using the ring for another 25-30 min then wait 15 min and your chicken is perfection
I’m going to use your method wish me well lol
Interesting , that’s the oven we use in our place in Thailand as we don’t have a normal oven in it . I do a pork joint and roast potatoes in mine
Lovely.
As usual dereton33, a very informative video, and well presented; and it's inspired me to definitely think about buying one of these halogen ovens.

Just got delivery of my Halogen oven today. Can’t wait to try your recepies. Happy days x
Way too dry don't know whether that was due to the halogen oven or lack of basting
take the elastic band off
Chicken looked dry when cut though. was it juicy or did it feel like second best from cooking it in a conventional oven.
I cook EVERYTHING in mine, ribs, chicken, etc and taste fresh cooked!! EXCELLENT!!!!
Tammy S is the chicken juicy or dry in it though?
I'd use spacer I've got a fresh chicken in freezer and figured best to research it first
I adore your videos. Please do some more!
Will do Mandy.
better to use without ring ..will be quicker ..and the last half an hour put the spuds in for roasting ...works for me ....
Thanks for the info. Jan.

Looks really great! Does the halogen oven radiate heat upwards or is it all right to keep it and use it on the counter top below the cabinets?
Not much heat is radiated upwards we use ours under the cabinets.
@@dereton33 Thank you for reply and info! Will get mine, soon. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!
Thank you. I just found one at a house that I was cleaning up and it didn't have instructions but I'm going to try your chicken instructions with the bottom side up first and see how it goes. I also have a pot roast I'd like to try in it if you have any suggestions with that.
Experiment is the way to go with these. Mainly just watch the top does not get burnt.
Thank you!
No problem
you pair work very well together :P
Thanks joanne.
Hey! I have the same oven but i dont have the spacer. Have you tried cooking it without a spacer or does it burn from being too close to the lamp? Thanks!
It is too close to the lamp.
Great cooking keep it up like to cook your way
Thanks Fay.
I thought that with the flow of hot air there is no need to turn meats. Other than electricity savings I don't see an advantage of using one of these vs a standard oven. What am I missing?
A quicker cooking time, lower wattage use and tastier food.
Also the advantage is that if you just don’t have a regular oven, and/or can’t afford one - one of these does EVERYTHING a regular oven does, literally. I got mine for $20NZD second hand (I think that’s like $USD?) and am so impressed with everything I’ve been able to cook in it - and so much more quickly than a regular oven too!!
The ONLY thing I struggled slightly with to start with was making gravy after a roast, as it’s hard to catch the juices. But I now know I can use tinfoil under the rack or just stick everything directly in the bowl, and scrape out the juice after.
I still have two stovetop elements working on the broken big oven, so transfer the juices into a pan for gravy making. If I didn’t have those, I’d only need to buy one of those little plug-in double elements.
So yeah they’re definitely convenient for people in a tight spot financially. Everyone was telling me to buy a microwave - THANK GOD I USED THE MONEY ON THIS INSTEAD!!!
Thank you so much! :D Good appetite!
Would like to ask what seasoning did you use on the chicken ? And what do you use for your roast potatoes?
We use, Season All, for both the chicken and potatoes.
Jan where do you buy your Season All big shaker from as the small Season All is £1.65 from supermarket and I think yours would work out a lot cheaper.....Thanks
Brilliant, just subscribed.
Thanks Dennis. Jan.
Looked tasty! What brand of seasoning is that, and where did you get it?
dalriada842 It is called "season all" we buy it from a store down in the south west called Trago Mills. Jan.
That looked nice!
How much was your Halogen oven and where from? Also what are the benefits of using one over a gas or electric oven? I know the halogen ones don't heat the room up like a normal oven does though
jonnygti The Halogen oven is around £40.00 from Amazon. The main benefit is that it uses half the power of an electric oven. The food is just tastier when cooked in there.
Ok thanks for the reply and info
and easier to clean
You'd be better off buying the Ninja Foodi. When you pressure cook chicken for say 30 mins , then air fry it, oh man is it brilliant.
those ninja things are full of non stick material which will come off into food.
not nice!
Hi. I'm paranoid when it comes to cooking chicken in my halogen. I've always checked to ensure that the meat is cooked but get worried that sometimes a red liquid is in the cavity and there is some redness around the bone joints. I've read this can be the case with young birds (it's supposedly not blood) due to mass rearing techniques. In your opinion drawing on your experience is thia right?
We always make sure there is no red liquid in the cavity's.
dereton33 thanks for the reply. will keep working on it to get a good result.
my halogen is smaller than yours also were do you get a spacer?
Came with mine as an extra.
@@dereton33 mine hasn't as it is a lot smaller but im trying for the first time and seems ok.keep up the great videos all the best
Will do thanks Lee.
Just bought my daughter ones of these ovens today.this video does not give me hope they are so good mmm
Can only say we love ours Liz.
I totally LOVE it!
What do you mean by "this video doesn't give me hope"?
Dare he say otherwise trying this now but with the potatoes at the same time
doesn't the oven heat up the entire room?
Lights it up more like.
You made me hungry !
Why chicken always overcooked n burnt?
Not at all.
Temperature was set at ?
does your ovens light go off then come back on during cooking please
Yes it is quite normal.
+dereton33 thankyou for the quick reply,i only got my tower air oven this Christmas (1st ever halogen) and i would be lost without your video's,so thankyou very much xx
No problem Paul enjoy using it.
What temperature do you cook the chicken at please?
210 c. Jan.
210c= about 400 F
Hi, did you have to pre heat the oven first or just start from cold?
thanks for the quick reply, i was just preparing my chicken ready to cook
31gazza31 gofas
Why have you left the elastic on the legs :P
So the chicken can spring into the halogen oven.
wat happens when you break the glass? is it easy to get a replacement?
Yes no problem.
dank u wel
If you constantly cook whole chickens in a halogen oven would the hot juices spitting off the chicken spatter on to the halogen bulb and destroy it?
No and we have cooked loads.
Just bought a Visicook halogen oven a few weeks ago and about to cook my first whole chicken in it...hence checking for hints and tips as the crappy info that came with it said 10mins/lb at 240c which clearly is nonsense. As for the splatter when cooking meats, mine came with a splatter guard to fit under the lamp which has worked well so far.
Can you cook a small turkey in one?
Yes but it has to be quite small.
@@dereton33 thank you for the reply. About how small? 9lbs?
Yes no bigger.
Can we use in foil to cover breast so it won't burn ?
Yes we often do that ourselves.
Much better cooked in slow cooker. And you can cook anything from frozen..
200 degrees ... celsius..?
Yes.
Are you guys Dutch living in a foreign country?
No.English, with east enders accents.
not supposed to wash raw chicken...
I did not know that. Thanks.
Dean Marcus why is that?
I did before watching this .
I hope I don’t get sick as long as it’s cooked well done.
don't believe this lying government who say that.
ALWAYS WASH CHICKEN!!!
very informative... time to cook my 2.40 kg chicken then... thank you
Ive just been given this product in 2022 i think it would use a lot of electric
A lot less than a normal oven though.

Thanks.
I roasted a "chicken on a tray" as you can buy at Tesco, Lidl and all the other supermarkets and the tray is handy as basin for the dripping fat, while the chicken can be put on the low rack. imgur.com/a/CZeeWIJ . I grilled the bird 20min at 180degrees (C) with extension ring, starting its back (put a slice of lime in it), the turned and another 20min on top. Turned again for 10min @200C and finally on the top for another 10min: It was lovely! imgur.com/a/g3pptd8
As lou and Andy would say " this is a right kerfuffle "
The best way is to have a non alcohol addled brain when you first thing buy a halogen oven then you'd remember how to do it and not have to look it up.

I prefer chicken.

Thanks for the info David.
you don't wash chickens. thats a big no no.
Of course you can wash a chicken as long as you disinfect surfaces after
afraid not. wash at you peril!
+lionfireneze Absolutely don't wash chicken before cooking. Check the Foods Standards Agency website for safe handling guidelines.
thanks Mark
+smalltownboy66 why no?
FOR THE CHICKEN TO COOK IT TAKE 4 HOUR TO COOKED
Really? 4 hours is mental, I thought they sounded too good to be true.
Unless your a shill for big cooker
Never . 1hr 10mins
Nonsense....200 degrees, 30 mins breast side down, let it rest for 10 minutes then 40 minutes backside down, perfect crispy skin and juicy melt in the mouth meat
It takes too much time to cook..
much faster than an oven.
and cheaper right now!
