Bake chicken to a safe internal temperature of 165°F for optimal food safety.
White meat is lean and cooks faster while dark meat is juicier and takes longer to cook.
Use a meat thermometer to ensure the correct temperature and prevent overcooking.
For whole chicken, bake at 350°F for 20 to 25 minutes per pound.
For boneless, skinless chicken breasts, bake at 350°F for 20 to 30 minutes.
For bone-in, skin-on chicken breasts, bake at 350°F for 30 to 40 minutes.
For whole chicken legs or thighs, bone-in, bake at 350°F for 40 to 50 minutes.
For chicken drumsticks, bake at 350°F for 35 to 45 minutes.
For chicken wings, bake at 350°F for 30 to 40 minutes.
Consider cooking dark meat a little longer until it registers between 170°F or 175°F for firmer texture.
Use a digital thermometer to check the temperature accurately.
