what degree do i bake a whole chicken?!
I do know that you are supposed to bake a turkey at 325 degrees but how about a whole chicken?
Answers:
You bake a chicken at 350 degrees.
Turn oven to 450 for 15 minutes to sear the meat and lock in juices then to 350. I usually use a roasting chicken and it will take over an hour for 5lb bird. 170 should be internal temp
350 degrees for 3-4 1/2 hours, depening on how many pounds it is. When you stab the leg with a knife and the juices run clear, it's done.
I bake whole chickens at 350...about 20 minutes per pound. Internal temp should reach 175 - 180.
