How long do I cook a whole chicken per pound?

You should cook a whole chicken for 15-20 minutes per pound at 350°F (175°C).

Here's a more detailed breakdown:

* For a 3-4 pound chicken: Cook for 45-60 minutes.

* For a 4-5 pound chicken: Cook for 60-75 minutes.

* For a 5-6 pound chicken: Cook for 75-90 minutes.

Important things to remember:

* Check for doneness: The chicken is done when the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) in the thickest part of the thigh.

* Resting time: Allow the chicken to rest for 10-15 minutes before carving to allow the juices to redistribute.

* Always use a meat thermometer: Don't rely on visual cues to determine doneness.

Enjoy your delicious roasted chicken!
