🌡️ Stop guessing — check the real temperature
A fast digital meat thermometer is the only way to know your roast is safely and perfectly cooked. Pull it at the exact internal temperature, every time.

How This Calculator Works — Formula & Method
Source: standard UK roasting guidance · applied deterministically · verify with a thermometer
| Constant | Value | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Min per 500 g | 20 min (range 18–24) | UK roasting guides |
| Internal target | 74°C / 165°F | FSA / thermometer |
| Base offset | 30 min | Standard |
| Oven | 180°C fan | Method |
| Resting | 15 min | Best practice |
— Stuffed chicken cooking time —
total_min = min_per_500g × (weight_g / 500) + base_offset
range = [lo_per_500g … hi_per_500g] × (weight_g / 500) + base_offset
conventional_oven = fan_temp + 10–20°C (same time)
fahrenheit = derived table from °C
— algorithm —
lookup(meat, cut, doneness) → point_estimate → guidance_range
→ internal_target_temp → verify_with_thermometer()

Public roasting guidance applied deterministically — this is not a food-safety authority. Always cook to the stated internal temperature, measured with a meat thermometer.
Frequently Asked Questions
About 40 minutes per kg plus 30 minutes at 180°C, to 74°C internal. Stuffing adds weight and slows heat — add ~30 min and check the stuffing reaches 74°C too.
Cook at 180°C fan (190°C conventional / 350°F). Internal target 74°C. Rest 15 minutes.
