Notes

Frequently Asked Questions:

How do you roast a chicken with potatoes?

What is the best pan to roast a chicken in?

You can use a cast-iron skillet, pyrex baking dish, or dutch oven. A pan with built-in handles is best.

How long do you bake a whole chicken at 375 degrees?

2-1/2 to 3 pounds: Roast at 375 degrees F for 1 to 1-1/4 hours.
3 to 3-1/2 pounds: Roast at 375 degrees F for 1-1/4 to 1-1/2 hours.
3-1/2 to 4 pounds: Roast at 375 degrees F for 1-1/4 to 1-3/4 hours.
4-1/2 to 5 pounds: Roast at 375 degrees F for 1-1/2 to 2 hours.

Do you roast a chicken covered or uncovered?

Roasting is a technique that relies on high heat to create crispy golden skin and tender, juicy meat. To roast chicken, cook it in a heavy roasting pan at 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Bake the chicken until it's golden brown. Check the internal temperature of the meat. Chicken is done baking when the internal temp reaches 165 degrees. If your chicken isn't quite done baking on the inside but it's golden on the outside, lay a sheet of aluminum foil loosely on top of the chicken until it comes up to temperature.

What is the difference between roasting and baking a chicken?

Roasting requires a higher temperature (400°F and above) to create a browned, flavorful “crust” on the outside of the food being cooked, while baking occurs at lower oven temperatures (up to 375°F). Covered pan: Roasting is typically done in an open, uncovered pan, while items that are baked may be covered.

How do I know when my chicken is done?

The most foolproof way to know when a chicken is done is to insert a well-calibrated instant-read thermometer into the meat near the inner thigh (between the leg and the breast, but make sure you're not hitting bone). If the thermometer reads between 160° and 165°, it's done.
