how long what temperature for a six pound chicken?
For firmer meat and crisp skin, roast the chicken around 425 degrees F for 45 minutes to 1 1/2 hours, depending on the weight. In our recipe below, we roast a 5 to 6 pound chicken at 425 degrees for about 1 1/2 hours. You will need a pan to roast the chicken in â a roasting pan with rack, large baking dish, rimmed baking sheet or an oven-safe pan will all work. When it comes to seasoning, we like to keep things simple.
