i bought a four pound broiler chicken that is stuffed. How long should I cook it on what temp? Do I use foil. Will it taste good with rotissere seasoning on it? Give me any advice you have please I want to start dinner soon.
Its 165, actually. In the center of the stuffing.
185 internally would mean the meat would be cooked til WAY overdone.
There is no "ballpark," sorry especially since the chicken was prestuffed and the stuffing is soaked with chicken blood and other juices.
You definitely risk food poisoning by not cooking the stuffing to 165. You need a thermometer to tell.
They are cheap -- available in the grocery store.
If you can't get one, I'd remove the stuffing arrange it in a layer on a baking sheet and cook it in the oven for 20-30 minutes. Or not eat it at all.
As far as the chicken, rub it with butter, season it how you like, and put it on a rack in a roasting pan in a 375 oven. It should take about an hour to cook. Again, when roasting any kind of meat or poultry, you really should have a thermometer to tell when it's done. A chicken is done when its juices are clear and the leg wiggles easily. But that is a very imperfect measure.
