Chopped hot recipe holding large chopper ... (10)
I believe the answer is:
helicopter
'chopper' is the definition.
('helicopter' can be a synonym of 'chopper')
'chopped hot recipe holding large' is the wordplay.
'chopped' indicates anagramming the letters.
'holding' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'large' becomes 'l'.
'hot'+'recipe'='hotrecipe'
'hotrecipe' anagrammed gives 'heicopter'.
'heicopter' going around 'l' is 'HELICOPTER'.
(Other definitions for helicopter that I've seen before include "This can be used to transport" , "Rotorcraft" , "Triple echo (anag) - form of air transport" , "Chinook" , "Rotary-winged craft" .)
