Heat up the oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit. Take the chicken giblets out of the inside of the chicken. 2. Rinse and dry the chicken. Wash the chicken in cool water inside and out. Use a paper towel to dry off the chicken. Sprinkle the whole chicken with salt and pepper. 3. Slice the onion. Slice the onion in half.
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. The proper cooking time depends on the size of your chicken. A 4-pound chicken 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.
