Place the chicken, breast side up, in a roasting pan. Rub salt and pepper on the outside of the chicken. Place the chicken in a preheated, 350 degree Fahrenheit oven. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes per pound of chicken. For example, bake a 4 lb. chicken for an hour and a half. Insert a meat thermometer into the fattest part of the chicken thigh, taking care not to touch the bone. The chicken is done when the thermometer reads 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
5. Bake the chicken breasts in the oven for about 35 to 45 minutes. If the juices from the chicken are clear, it is fully cooked. If you have a meat thermometer, the internal temperature of the chicken should be 160Â°F (71.1Â°C).
