I visited the Schwartz Center and met with Pamela Lillard, the Director of Production and Design, and she arranged for me to meet with Jillian Holch, a junior at Cornell in Performing and Media Arts, who is the organizer of this yearâs 24 Hour Playfest.
Step 4: Roast the chicken. Place the chicken (in the roasting pan) in the preheated oven. Cooking times vary by weight: 2-1/2- to 3-pound chicken: Roast 1 to 1-1/4 hours. 3- to 3-1/2-pound chicken: Roast 1-1/4 to 1-1/2 hours. 3-1/2- to 4-pound chicken: Roast 1-1/4 to 1-3/4 hours.
How long should a chicken be baked in the oven? The amount of time needed to bake a whole chicken depends on the temperature of the oven and the size of the chicken. For example, at 375 degrees Fahrenheit, a 3-pound chicken takes 1 to 1 1/4 hours to cook. At the same temperature, a 5-pound chicken takes up to 2 hours.
