How long does it take a 12 lb chicken took in the oven?!
Make absolutely certain it is fully thawed (in the case of a frozen bird).
Be sure it hasn't got the giblets left inside it!
Assuming you've stuffed it with a traditional sage and onion stuffing, it is 20 minutes per pound, AND an additional 20 minutes to finish.
So your chicken would require 260 minutes, or in plain language 4 hours and 20 minutes.
At that weight are you sure it's a chicken and not a turkey?
No matter, it's exactly the same for a turkey anyway!

A 12 pound chicken is like a turkey, I'd cook it 3-3.5 hours at 325 degrees.
If you have a 12 lb chicken I would take a picture of it. You have one that is on steroids. Send it into the book of world records.

25 mins per pound and 25 minutes over
Yea right! No such thing as 12lb chicken.
dunno but when the juices run clear then it is cooked, not beforehand. I'm signing off now, i'm drunk and i'm going to bed, nighty night, merry xmas and don't get food poisoning!
