When using a whole chicken you will first need to remove the giblets and rinse the inside and the outside of the bird with cool water. Pat the chicken dry with paper towels and season with the herbs and spices of your choice.
Feel free to experiment with a variety of ingredients like garlic, mushrooms, onions, and even fruits such as oranges and lemons for making a delicious baked chicken dish.
For making a whole chicken, preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and bake the chicken in roasting pan uncovered for about an hour to an hour and a half. When the outside of the chicken as turned a golden brown color, check it with a meat thermometer to ensure it is fully cooked inside.
Your baked chicken is done when the temperature of the breast reaches 170 degrees and the thighs are 180 degrees. If you do not happen to have a meat thermometer, check to see that the inside of the chicken is no longer pink and that the juices run clear.
After removing from the oven, allow the chicken to sit untouched and cool for about 10 minutes before carving with a sharp knife and enjoying.
