how long to cook a whole chicken?

I usually cook a whole, unstuffed, chicken at 400 degrees for about 1 hour, 15 minutes. So, at 375 I'd probably go for 1 1/2 hours -- just check it -- you want the skin nice and brown, and when you wiggle the chicken leg, it should feel as though you could easily pull it off.

how long would you cook a whole chicken in the oven for if it weighed about 2 1/2 to 3 lbs at 375 degrees?

Unstuffed?

If so, then 1 1/4 -1 3/4 hrs

Stuffed would be 1 1/2 - 2 1/4 hrs.

Start with the lowest time, then check the chicken by cutting the thigh to see if a murky looking juice flows out. If it does, then by all means, do not serve it. Also check the color of the meat. If it's pinkish, it isn't ready yet.

I usually bake mine at 350 degrees uncovered for 1 to 1 1/2 hours, or until the skin is golden brown and the meat is cooked through.

Ways to check for doneness:

Use an instant-read meat thermometer to check the chicken near the end of cooking. When the internal temperature reaches 170 degrees for breast meat, 180 for thighs (measured in the thickest part), the chicken is done.

Test for doneness without a thermometer by cutting into the deepest part of the thigh. If the meat is no longer pink and juices run clear, it's done.

1 and 1/2 hours...

Roughly two hours. Longer if it's stuffed.

hmmmmmm! like one hour thirty munites

whatever you do, kill it first
