A small chicken should fit. 5 pounder would be tight. It is non-stick and beyond easy to clean. There is a 2-part basket system to this. You push in the plastic red button and it separates for cleaning.

Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.The side of the basket is difficult to clean. You need to use a brush to clean every gap, and there are probably a few dozens of them just on the sides. Grease and food residual got burned and stuck in the gap often. The Insignia air fryers have a wider base but shorter height than the other brands for 5 qt size. You can't put a whole small chicken in it without butterflying it. I don't recommend this air fryer though.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes, the basket is easy to clean and is nonstick, just use a brush and dishwasher detergent. The outside is plastic and works just fine for the purpose unless you plan to drop it. I do not believe you can cook a 5 lbs chicken in it unless you cut it up in smaller pieces. It is very easy to use and to clean.
