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.
Place the chicken, breast side up, in a roasting pan. Rub salt and pepper on the outside of the chicken. Place the chicken in a preheated, 350 degree Fahrenheit oven. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes per pound of chicken. For example, bake a 4 lb. chicken for an hour and a half. Insert a meat thermometer into the fattest part of the chicken thigh, taking care not to touch the bone.
