How long to cook a whole chicken at 225 degrees?

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

Short answer, yes, you can cook it at 250 but it would take a long time.

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.
