Re: Quick cooking question/Help please!

[Guest guest]

Cathy,

Roasted chicken:

30 minutes at 425 then turn the oven down to 375 and cook for 45-60 minutes

more. My chicken comes out perfect every time. If the meat is falling off the

bones then it is over done and will be dry. It should look golden brown and

still intact. Prick a fork into the the thick part of the thigh and if the

juices run clear it is done.

I roasted a chicken, using a roasting pan in the oven, for the first

time. I found directions on-line that said 325 oven for 45 min. to one

hour cook time. It wasn't done!

Question: What is the oven setting and cook time for a simple roasted

chicken?

TIA to anyone who can help me.

Thanks, Cathy (who can never seem to get recipes to come out right)

Hi Cathy;

I purchased a meat thermometer (no mercury, of course) that tells you when the

meat is done . I have little experience cooking meat (former vegetarian) so the

thermometer has been a life saver. Has settings for pork, beef and poultry.

Hope this helps,

Kim :-)

Dear Cathy:

Do not worry. If its not done, just put it back in the oven and check every 15

minutes. Cut the chicken to check if done. An easier way is to get a meat

thermoneter. It has the right internal temperature for cooked chicken right on

the thermoneter. Another way to see if done, is if you can take the leg off

easily. When I cook a whole chicken depending on the size, I put it in at 325

for a least and hour and half. Some cook books say 20 minutes a pound at 325.

I really like the thermoneter, it takes the guessing out. I've been cooking

alot since I was a young teenager, almost 30 years and I still mess up. Kids

will do that to you with some many distactions. Keep cooking and Good Luck!
