Found a guide to doing half chicken in one basket and veggies in the others at the same time. Seems like the idea is to use both zones so the chicken can roast while the veggies get murder while the chicken finishes.
How do people here actualy cook this? The guide says it’s super simple, but there’s a half chicken which has skin on it that will need to be crisp up, and the veggies that dont have the same cooking time as the chicken. The dual zone function ensure that both cook simultaneously despite having different temperatures and cooking times.
What are people’s experiences cooking this combo?

half chicken fit fine in mine, as long as its a smaller bird. Anything over 1.4kg and the chicken will be touching the top of the basket. Cooked skin side up the whole time. Roasted at 200c for around 35 minutes.
