Introduction

Cooking a chicken can be intimidating, but it doesn’t have to be. A 6 pound (2.7 kg) chicken will take about 2 hours 10 minutes to cook in the oven, which gives you plenty of time to prepare side dishes or even dessert.

A 6 pound chicken will cook in about 2 hours. The cooking time depends on the temperature of your oven and whether or not you have a convection oven. If you don’t have one, then it’s just a regular old electric or gas range that heats from below and above.

Convection ovens use fans to circulate hot air around food for faster cooking times; however, this can also lead to unevenly cooked pieces if they aren’t rotated properly during roasting (which we’ll get into later).

It’s important that when cooking any large piece of meat like poultry or pork loin roast–and especially when using these methods–you check internal temperatures regularly until they reach 165 degrees F/74 C before removing them from heat source so as not overcook them!

You’ll want to cook your chicken for about 2 hours and 10 minutes.

To figure out how long it will take for your 6 pound chicken to be done, use this simple math: 20 minutes per pound. So if you have a 6-pound bird, that means it will take about 2 hours and 10 minutes in the oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit (180 Celsius).

Conclusion

A 6 pound chicken will cook in about 2 hours 10 minutes.
