How Long Should You Cook Raw Chicken In The Oven?
The length of time to cook raw chicken in the oven depends on the cut and weight of the chicken. As a general rule, bake chicken breasts for 20-30 minutes at 375°F, and bake chicken thighs and legs for 30-40 minutes at 375°F. Plan to add 15-20 minutes if cooking a whole chicken. Always use a meat thermometer, and ensure that the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F to ensure it is fully cooked and safe to eat.
