The bake time for chicken depends on which cut of chicken you’re putting into the oven and your oven temperature.
A whole chicken should be baked at 425 degrees Fahrenheit for an average of 15 to 20 minutes per pound plus an extra 15 minutes. For example, a 5-pound chicken will take at least an hour and a half.
Chicken thighs can be baked at 400 degrees for about 35 minutes.
Chicken wings take about 45 minutes to bake in a 400-degree oven. Make sure to flip them over part-way through so both sides get crispy.
Boneless chicken breasts can be put in an oven at 400 degrees for 15 to 20 minutes.
It’s important to note that when you’re making baked chicken, time doesn’t matter as much as the temperature of the meat. You’ll know that your chicken is done when its internal temperature reaches 165 degrees.
