Okay, I've got a wee little whole roaster chicken (~2 lbs). I've prepped it, and it is ready to go in the oven (stuffed with a lemon and some herbs). It is my first time doing this, and I have no clue how long to cook it for-- everywhere I go says something differently.
I want to keep it pretty low maintenance-- i've seen some recipes that call for keeping it at one temperature and then lowering it for a certain amount of time, but since I have to leave the house and will be leaving somebody around to "keep their eye on it," I don't want to have to leave detailed instructions.
I called my mom and she suggested about an hour at 350, but I'm worried that it won't be enough.
Other things... Uhm, I'm roasting it with some wedged sweet potatoes and acorn squash in the roasting pan. Oh, and some carrots.
Thanks!
