The Best Vertical Roasters for Making Perfectly Crispy Chicken

Click here to read the full article.

There’s more than one way to roast a chicken. Of course, you can stick it in the oven in a pan or rack, but there’s actually a better way to go about it, especially if you want it crispy—the vertical roaster.

It might not look like much, but a vertical roaster will make your chicken, quail or turkey taste infinitely better. Plopping chicken on the apparatus so that the bird is completely upright will help it cook evenly, so you’ll end up with browner, crispier final product. Plus, you won’t have to tie the bird up or turn it while it’s cooking like you would with a pan or rack.
