How long do you roast two six and a half pound chickens in the same roasting pan?

Roasting two 6.5 pound chickens in the same roasting pan will take approximately 1 hour and 45 minutes to 2 hours. Here's a breakdown:

* Roasting Time: A general rule of thumb is to roast a chicken for 15 minutes per pound at 350°F.

* Two Chickens: Two 6.5 pound chickens equal 13 pounds.

* Total Time: 13 pounds x 15 minutes/pound = 195 minutes (3 hours and 15 minutes)

* Adjusting for Density: Because you're roasting two chickens in the same pan, they may cook slightly faster due to heat distribution.

* Estimated Time: Therefore, expect it to take around 1 hour and 45 minutes to 2 hours.

Important Notes:

* Temperature: Ensure your oven is preheated to 350°F (175°C).

* Internal Temperature: Use a meat thermometer to ensure the chickens are cooked to a safe internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).

* Spacing: Space the chickens appropriately in the roasting pan to allow for even cooking and heat circulation.

* Basting: Basting the chickens during roasting helps to keep them moist.

* Resting Time: Allow the chickens to rest for 10-15 minutes after roasting to allow the juices to redistribute.

Remember, these are just estimates, and actual cooking time may vary depending on your oven and the size and shape of your chickens.
