Introduction

Oven-cooked chicken is delicious, and it’s a great staple for any meal. But how long do you cook it for? It all depends on the temperature you’re cooking at, but luckily we have some simple math to help us out. Let’s get into it!

If you want to cook the chicken at 400 degrees F, it should take around 20 minutes to get done.

If you want to cook the chicken at 400 degrees F, it should take around 20 minutes to get done. This is a good temperature for cooking most cuts of meat that are best when they’re crispy on the outside but still juicy and tender on the inside.

If you want to make sure that all parts of your chicken are cooked thoroughly (and not dried out), cover it with foil after 15 minutes in the oven. This will help keep moisture in so that it doesn’t dry out while getting browned and crispy on top!

If you want to cook the chicken at 425 degrees F, it should take around 15 minutes to get done.

If you want to cook the chicken at 425 degrees F, it should take around 15 minutes to get done. If you want to cook it for a shorter time, lower the temperature to 400 degrees F and check on your chicken every five minutes until it’s done.

If you want to cook the chicken at 450 degrees F, it should take around 12 minutes to get done.

If you want to cook the chicken at 450 degrees F, it should take around 12 minutes to get done. The internal temperature of your meat needs to reach 165 degrees F for it to be considered done. Check the temperature with a meat thermometer regularly so that you don’t over or undercook it!

For every 5 degrees increase in temperature, add another 2 minutes of cooking time.

• Increase the temperature of your oven by 5 degrees.
• Add 2 minutes to the cooking time for each 5-degree increase in temperature. For example, if you’re baking chicken at 350°F (180°C), then increase it to 375°F (190°C) and cook for 10 minutes instead of 8 minutes; or if you’re baking chicken at 425°F (220°C), then increase it even more–to 450°F (230°C)–and cook for 12 minutes instead of 10 minutes.* Check with a meat thermometer to make sure that your chicken is done before removing from the oven.* If a recipe calls for baking something longer than 30 minutes at high heat (such as 500+ degrees), consider using an instant-read thermometer instead of relying on internal temperatures as they will likely rise too quickly during this process.* Baking times are approximate; every oven behaves differently due to its age and condition, whether it has been used previously or not, etc., so keep this in mind when making adjustments based on personal preference!

Check the temperature with a meat thermometer and check it regularly so that you don’t over or undercook it!

The best way to tell if your chicken is done is by using a meat thermometer. Insert it into the thickest part of the breast and leave it there for 2 minutes before removing. If you don’t have a meat thermometer, cut into the chicken and check its color–the juices should be clear or slightly pink (not red).

The internal temperature of cooked poultry should reach 165 degrees F, which means that even if you’re cooking your bird all day long at 350 degrees F like we did here in our recipe for Oven-Fried Chicken Breasts with Honey Mustard Sauce, you still need to check on its progress regularly so that it doesn’t over or undercook!

Conclusion

So there you have it. Now that you know how long to cook chicken in the oven, you can make it at home and impress your friends with your culinary skills. The best part about cooking this dish is that it only takes a few minutes of prep work before popping it into the oven, so even if all else fails, at least there won’t be much left for cleanup afterwards!
