Yes, a lot of recipes have you baking the chicken at 375F - 400F or something which I think is too high. Just cook it longer at 325F to 350F temp to reach the ideal and safe interior temps. These slightly lower temps work ideal if you first get the cooking process started by searing the chicken in a skillet for a short time. IMO
I think the best way to roast a chicken is at 450-500.
Barbara Kafka's recipe comes out perfect every time. Line your pan with thinly sliced potatoes and it wont smoke.
