How long do you cook a whole chicken on slow in the oven?

The cooking time for a whole chicken on slow in the oven depends on the size of the chicken and the temperature you use. Here's a general guideline:

For a 3-4 pound chicken:

* At 275°F (135°C): 3-4 hours

* At 300°F (150°C): 2-3 hours

For a 4-5 pound chicken:

* At 275°F (135°C): 4-5 hours

* At 300°F (150°C): 3-4 hours

Tips:

* Use a meat thermometer: Insert the thermometer into the thickest part of the thigh (not touching bone) and make sure the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) for safe consumption.

* Basting: Baste the chicken with its own juices or a flavorful broth every hour for extra moisture.

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

Remember: These are just estimates. It's always best to check the chicken's internal temperature to ensure it's cooked through.
