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.
â¢Roast whole (thawed) chickens for 20 minutes per pound, plus an additional 15 minutes. High heat method (this creates a crispy, darker skin): â¢Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C) and cook whole (thawed) chicken for 10-15 minutes.â¢Then reduce the temperature to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and roast for 20 minutes per pound.OTE: These times are for unstuffed birds. Add 15 minutes to the total cooking time if you're roasting a stuffed chicken. And as with the chicken itself, make sure the stuffing reaches a temperature of at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
