For whole chickens, add an additional 10 minutes cook time for every extra pound above five. If baking a frozen chicken, double the time. For example, if you are cooking a defrosted chicken for 60 minutes at 350 degrees, bake a frozen solid chicken at 350 degrees for at least 120 minutes. Again, altitude may affect cooking time. Toward the end of the prepared baking time, you can check if the meat is cooked by sticking a sharp knife or fork into the thickest area and making sure that the meat is firm and not pink.
