How long does it take to cook a 4 lb whole chicken?!
Answers: I'm baking a 4 lb whole chicken and i have no idea how long i should cook it for. Any ideas? Thanks!!
Bake it at 425 degrees - that will make the skin crispy as well as cooking the chicken. It will take approximately an hour and twenty minutes but that depends on your oven. Here are some ways to tell if it's done:
1) Prick the thigh with a fork - the juices should be clear and not pink.
2) The leg should move freely when you move it.
3) When you pour out the juices from the cavity they should also be clear and not pink.
It's better to overcook the chicken a little bit than undercooking it to be safe.
About 25 minutes a pound, so 90 minutes?
A little over an hour, at 325.
usually 20 min per lb at 350 degree oven but use a meat thermometer to be sure...you never want to under cook chicken
I would say about 2 hours :)
put lt in the oven at 350. for about an hour
Like 1hour but u have to chopped it 4 better taste
until the internal temp is 175 in the deepest part of the thigh. use a temp probe or thermometer
look at your recipes
It normally cook for 45 minutes to an hour on 375 to 400 degree oven. Make sure you let it cool before serving.

12 minutes in a pressure cooker.
About an hour and 20 minutes. Cook at 325.
A meat thermometer would be a good idea and get it up to the mark that says poultry. 190
Buy the Reynolds Cooking Bags and follow the inclosed instructions. They come in various sizes.
The chicken will be moist and the bag makes clean-up an easy chore.
BAKED STUFFED POPCORN CHICKEN
6-7 lb. Chicken
1 cup melted butter
1 cup stuffing (Pepperidge Farm is good.)
1 cup uncooked popcorn (ORVILLE REDENBACHER'S LOW FAT)
Salt/pepper to taste
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Brush chicken well with melted butter, salt, and pepper. Fill cavity with stuffing and popcorn. Place in baking pan with the neck end toward the back of the oven. Listen for the popping sounds. When the chicken explodes and blows the oven door open -- and the chicken flies across the room, it's done.
20 minutes a pound equals 2 hours.350 degrees
