Frequently Asked Questions

How long does it take to fully cook a whole chicken?

The average whole chicken takes around 60–90 minutes at 425°F. However, it varies based on weight and temperature. The rule of thumb is to cook the chicken for 15–18 minutes per pound at 425°F.

Do I need to brine chicken before cooking?

No, it’s not necessary to brine your chicken. However, brining will help your chicken retain moisture while cooking, increase its tenderness, and infuse it with far more flavor. We are big fans of bringing our chickens!

How do you keep chicken moist in the oven?

We recommend marinating or brining your chicken beforehand to keep it moist in the oven. This allows the meat to absorb and retain more moisture and salt.
