Roast Chicken Cooking Time
Oven Baked Whole Chicken with Garlic, Orange and Rosemary Rub
People are often daunted by getting the roast chicken cooking time precise. You can work on about 1¼ hours for a 4lb / 1.8kg bird. However, if you follow the instructions below for your oven baked whole chicken, you should produce a delectable meal. The rub recipe works really well. It is a combination of spiciness and freshness. It also works well as a rotisserie chicken rub recipe. If you are going to cook one chicken you may as well cook two. Use the second chicken as part of this meal if you are feeding a crowd. Alternatively, use the second bird as a base for Chicken and Broccoli Casserole, Easy Chicken Enchiladas, Chicken Pasta Bake or Easy Chicken Salad.
EasyPreparation time: 5 minutesCooking time: about 1¼ hoursServes: Each chicken feeds about 4 - 6 people Ingredients: 2 whole chickens (giblets removed) each weighing about 4lb / 1.8kgRub mixture: 2 cloves garlic, crushed2 tablespoons orange rind1 teaspoon fresh rosemary, finely snipped1 teaspoon ground cumin1 teaspoon salt2 tablespoons soft butterMethod: - Heat the oven to 350° F / 180° C.

- Bake for 45 minutes. Turn the chickens over and bake for a further 30 minutes until the skins are golden brown and crisp.
