EASY ROAST CHICKEN
A 3 1/2 pound bird should roast in 55 to 60 minutes, while a 4 1/2 pound bird requires 60 to 65 minutes. If using a basket or a V-rack, be sure to grease it so the chicken does not stick to it. If you don't have a basket or V-rack, set the bird on a regular rack and use balls of aluminum foil to keep the roasting chicken propped up on its side.
