Baking a Chicken at 425

At 425 you are going to make the outside get done WAY before the inside is even near it.... LOL
I do mine at 350 for about 2 hours and they are perfect..... usually it is about 15 minutes per pound. But if you cook that fucker on 425, it is going to be a bitch to get it done on the inside when the outside is done.

pshaw ... I always bake my birds at 425 ... it sears the outside and keeps all the luscious juices inside ... I just can't remember if it's 1 hour or an hour and 30 :-( ...
Are these juices clear? If not you are in deep shit...
What I do is put a tablespoon of butter inside it and as it starts melting, it runs out in the pan, I then use that and baste it every 20-30 minutes and it is always juicy and tender on the inside.... basting it is the key to a juicy bird....

i've heard (from the food network) that basting is bad because it varies the temp too much ... especially with turkeys ... but i've never attempted to take on a 20 lb bird with 20 raging guests around me.-TaDoW

I cook mine all very low and for a long time.... I cook MINE for like 4 hours on 300, and baste it...... only when I am in a hurry do I shoot it to 350..... but I have never NOT basted mine and they get done all the way thru.... and the little thing on the turkey always pops out saying it is done too...

I HATE dry poultry, so I just cook it longer at lower temps and baste it.
You are right though, basting does alter it, I just cook mine a lot longer....... like I said, unless I am in a hurry. LOLGet in Touch on Telegram if you need a hardworker - (since 1999) - All About Me!Comment

yeah I believe they stay more tender when you cook it at 400 for about an hour, depending on the size, covered in foil... and then you crank the heat up to about 450 remove foil and get the skin nice and crispy.... baste it for extra flavor.Originally posted by TaDoW

A few ways to keep chicken from drying out:
One is to put a whole, peeled onion inside. Somehow it doesn't flavor the chicken, but the steam from the onion keeps the breast moist.
Rub some olive oil and paprika into the breast. Start the oven off at 475 but as soon as you put the chicken in, turn it down to 375. After 15-20 minutes, turn the chicken upside down for the rest of the cooking time. The skin should have sealed with the initial high temperature and upside down, the juices soak down through breast.
Cover the breast with some slices of bacon until about 20 minutes before done.
BTW if you prefer chicken to turkey and have to feed several people, buy a capon. Castrated male chickens, capons are bigger and tastier. More texture in the meat too.Comment
