A birth certificate or a certified copy of an original birth certificate is becoming increasingly important as a required form of identification.

1 The jury is in: 400Â°F (204Â°C) is the perfect temperature for cooking a whole chicken. Youâll get crispy skin and a fairly quick dinner without compromising tenderness.  Depending on the size of your chicken, it should take about 1 to 1-1/2 hours to roast at 400Â°F (204Â°C). I highly recommend a meat thermometer, one that stays in the chicken while it cooks and lets you set an alarm for when it reaches the proper temperature.
First of all you will need to preheat the oven to a temperature of 375ÂºF (190ÂºC). Roasting a chicken does not take quite so long as roasting a turkey, however a large chicken could still take over 2 hours to roast. As a general rule, calculate a cooking time of 20 minutes per pound of meat plus an additional 10 - 20 minutes at a temperature of 375ÂºF (190ÂºC). Therefore, a 5 lb chicken will need to be roasting in the oven for at least 1h 50 mins. A 5 lb bird will serve between 4 - 5 people. Some people prefer to set the oven temperature to 450ÂºF (230ÂºC) and roast the bird at this high temperature for the first 10 - 15 minutes or the last 10 - 15 minutes. The rest of the time the chicken should be roasted at 375ÂºF (190ÂºC).
