HOW LONG TO CONVECTION ROAST A CHICKEN?

FAQ PAGE

HowWhatWhyDo

Roast chicken on a metal rack in a pan, surrounded by stacked white plates, a red cloth, and a chicken-patterned napkin on a wooden table. — Roasting a chicken on a rack ensures even cooking.

For a 4 to 5 lbs chicken, this is my recommendation:

Heat the oven in the Convection Roast or Convection Bake mode 400 degrees and roast the chicken for 15 minutes. Decrease the oven temperature to 350 degrees for the remainder of the cooking time, approximately 45 minutes.

You can also do 9 minutes for each pound at 350°F after the 15 minutes period.

Baste the chicken halfway through to help crisp the skin or if you want a particular flavor.
