Cooking times and Temperatures - Oven Help

[effowe]

I am having a mini thanksgiving dinner for my friends tonight. We are slow cooking 2 chickens in the oven at 250. There are a few other side dishes (stuffing, green bean casserole, mashed sweet potatoes) that need to go in the oven @ 350 for about a half hour. How do I adjust the time so that I can put them in the oven with the chicken @ 250?

30 mins @ 350 = x mins @ 250.

What would be a good time for x? Will cooking these things at a lower temperature affect the dishes?

Cook the chicken at 400. It will take a little over an hour.

Cook the chicken at 400. It will take a little over an hour.

Already following a recipe, they go 5 hours @ 250. Any help on the cooking times?

I don't know an easy way to convert times. It depends on the size of the bird. Google could prabably help. Or look for BBQ times because that's right at BBQ temps.

It's what the recipe calls for.. So, anyone have any suggestions as to the cooking time?

350 @ 30 minutes = 250 @ how many minutes?

i would just turn up the oven to 350 for the last 1/2 hour.

i just burned a chicken, boiling it
i didn't know you could burn chicken when boiling it

dumb induction burner, apparently you should put it on 212F to boil, not higher like a traditional burner

Use a meat thermometer.

The recipe calls for 5 hours, use that and use a meat thermometer.

Well the point is moot as the chicken only took 4 hours as opposed to 5. All is well, hope the food is good.

An oven thermometer is a godsend. A lot of times the oven temperature is very different than what you think it is.
