What temperature to bake a small chicken?
You'll need to clarify what you mean by "small chicken." Is it:
* A whole chicken? The size of the chicken will determine the baking time, but the temperature remains consistent. For a whole chicken, bake at 350°F (175°C).
* Chicken pieces? The size of the pieces will determine the baking time, but the temperature remains consistent. For chicken pieces, bake at 400°F (200°C).
Here's a general guide:
* Whole chicken:
* 3-4 pounds: 1 hour and 15 minutes to 1 hour and 30 minutes
* 4-5 pounds: 1 hour and 30 minutes to 1 hour and 45 minutes
* 5-6 pounds: 1 hour and 45 minutes to 2 hours
* Chicken pieces:
* 1 inch thick: 20-25 minutes
* 1.5 inches thick: 25-30 minutes
* 2 inches thick: 30-35 minutes
Important notes:
* Use a meat thermometer: The best way to know if your chicken is cooked is to insert a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the chicken. It should read 165°F (74°C).
* Rest the chicken: After baking, let the chicken rest for 10 minutes before carving. This will allow the juices to redistribute and make for a more flavorful and juicy bird.
Please provide more information about the size and cut of your chicken so I can give you a more accurate temperature and time.
