At what temperature do you bake a whole chicken?

Here's why:

* Even Cooking: This temperature allows for even cooking throughout the chicken, ensuring the breast doesn't dry out while the legs get thoroughly cooked.

* Crispy Skin: 375°F promotes crispy skin, which is a delicious part of a roasted chicken.

However, the exact baking time will depend on the size of your chicken. Here's a general guideline:

* 3-4 pounds: 1 hour 15 minutes to 1 hour 30 minutes

* 4-5 pounds: 1 hour 30 minutes to 1 hour 45 minutes

* 5-6 pounds: 1 hour 45 minutes to 2 hours

Important tips:

* Use a meat thermometer: Insert the thermometer into the thickest part of the thigh (not touching bone) to ensure the chicken is cooked through to a safe internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).

* Rest the chicken: After baking, let the chicken rest for 10-15 minutes before carving. This will allow the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more succulent bird.

Enjoy your delicious roasted chicken!
