Roast chicken temperature celsius

There are many ways to roast a chicken, and the best method for you will depend on the type of chicken you are using, the result you want, and the time you have available.

The oven temperature and cooking time will depend on the weight of the chicken.

Roast chicken temperature and time

A good rule of thumb is to roast a whole chicken at 400-425°F (218°C) for 45 minutes to 1 hour and 30 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C).

For a crispier skin, you can roast the chicken at a higher temperature of 425-450°F (220°C) for a shorter time.

For a softer skin and more fall-off-the-bone meat, roast the chicken at a lower temperature of 325°F (162°C) for 1 hour and 30 minutes to 2 hours.

It is important to ensure that the chicken is cooked through. You can check this by inserting an instant-read thermometer into the thickest part of the thigh—the temperature should be 165°F (74°C).

Alternatively, you can pierce the thigh with a knife to see if the juices are running clear, or make a small cut into the thigh to check that there is no red flesh.
