A raw whole chicken will last 1-2 days in the fridge so if you plan to cook it later, it’s better to store it in the freezer.
Before you carve your chicken you should allow it to rest for at least 15 minutes so that the juices are able to keep everything lovely and moist.
A whole chicken should take around 1 hour 40 minutes and have an internal temperature of 82℃, a stuffed chicken should take around 2 hours 10 minutes and be the same temperature.
First you need to let the chicken come to room temperature, and then season it with salt and pepper, spice mix, or marinade.
