At least 25 years ago, I bought a set of Spanek Vertical Roasters. The one I have used the most is the one for chicken. I am really not advertising for them, but I want you to know that the roast chicken on this contraption is the best we've ever had. (I went online today to see if they still sell them, and they do. The website is Spanek.com) The vertical roaster sears the inside of the chicken and the skin (of course) keeps the juices in from the outside. The whole chicken is browned and the skin is crisp and the meat is the moistest (is that a word) we have ever had.
