How to Cook a Whole Chicken
Heat oven to 425°F.
Remove chicken from packaging and take out any giblets from the cavity. Pat chicken dry.
Rub all over with olive oil or softened butter.
Season generously with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and your favorite herbs.
Place breast-side up in a roasting pan or baking dish.
Roast at 425°F for 20 minutes, then reduce oven to 375°F.
Continue roasting until the thickest part of the breast and the innermost thigh reach 165°F.
3–4 lb chicken: about 60–75 minutes total
4–5 lb chicken: about 75–90 minutes total
5–6 lb chicken: about 90–105 minutes total
Remove from oven and let rest 15 minutes before carving.
