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.


For the best results, make sure to cut your vegetables into pieces of approximately the same size; this helps the vegetables to bake evenly.
- Round root vegetables like beets, sweet potatoes, and potatoes should be cut into ¾-inch pieces.
- Long root vegetables like carrots and parsnips should be cut into 1½-inch slices.
- Soft vegetables like green beans and asparagus roast quickly, so you can leave them as is.
- Bell peppers should be cored and cut into ¾-inch pieces or ½-inch strips.
- For onions, you should cut off the ends, remove the paper and waxy layers, and cut them lengthwise into wedges.
- Cherry tomatoes and grape tomatoes should be kept whole.
- Brussels sprouts should be removed from the stem and cut in half.
- Broccoli and cauliflower should be cut into florets.
If you’re mixing different types of vegetables on one pan, put in the root vegetables first, then add the softer vegetables after 10 or 15 minutes.



If you’re looking for a crispier take on yellow squash, try sprinkling breadcrumbs or Parmesan cheese over the top at the end, then broiling your squash for just a minute or two until the breadcrumbs brown or the cheese starts to melt.
