This means a 1.9 kg chicken would need about 108 minutes of cooking time. Always ensure the chicken's internal temperature reaches 74°C for safety.

FAQs & Answers

  1. How do I calculate cooking time for chicken per kilogram? To calculate cooking time, multiply the chicken’s weight in kilograms by 20 minutes, then add an extra 70 minutes when roasting at 200°C (or 180°C in fan ovens).
  2. What is the safe internal temperature for cooked chicken? Chicken is safe to eat once its internal temperature reaches 74°C (165°F), ensuring any harmful bacteria are destroyed.
  3. Can I cook a chicken faster in a fan-assisted oven? Yes, fan-assisted ovens circulate heat more efficiently, so cooking is often done at 180°C instead of 200°C, slightly reducing cooking time.
