If the chicken is a whole chicken and not cut into pieces, it needs to be baked about 20 minutes per pound. Baking it at a higher temperature like that, you should start it off covered with foil, then remove the foil the last 30 minutes of baking to allow the chicken to brown. I get much better results when baking a chicken by baking it on a rack, and first baking it bottom side up (with the back of the chicken on top), then turning it over half way through the baking time. The reason for this is that the back of the chicken (the dark meat) has a higher fat content, which helps keep the breast (the white meat) from drying out. It also helps ensure even browning of the whole chicken. This also works well when roasting a turkey.
