Chicken shouldn't be underestimated. My chicken was still alive after I put it in the oven 5 hours strait, but not to worry. If you shoot the chicken first it will be dead. Is it safe? Decide that yourself.

How long? That's impossible to know without knowing how big the bird is -- and making sure it's thawed and not frozen, of course! In any case, THREE-hundred and fifty degrees (350) is probably a better temp.
Just because your oven temp is hot does not mean the inside temp of the bird is that hot -- be careful! The key is for the internal temperature of the bird to reach 160 deg F.You can use a meat thermometer to check it.
The USDA Food Safety and Inspection Service has an excellent reference sheet on poultry preparation at http://www.fsis.usda.gov/factsheets/chicken_food_safety_focus/index.asp -- there you can look at a chart for bird sizes and cooking times.
