@hillgrandmom, A good rule of thumb for roasting a chicken is 20 minutes per pound. (Or 20 minutes per 0.45 Kgs.)

Here is a timetable:

Chicken Roasting times (unstuffed)
2½ - 3 lbs - 1 - 1¾ hrs
3½ - 4 lbs - 1½ - 1¾ hrs
4½ - 5 lbs - 1½ - 2 hrs
5 - 6 lbs - 1¾ - 2½ hrs

Chicken Roasting times (stuffed)
2½ - 3 lbs - 1½ - 2 hrs
3½ - 4 lbs - 1¾ - 2¼ hrs
4½ - 5 lbs - 2 - 2½ hrs
5 - 6 lbs - 2¼ - 2¾ hrs

We don't have Thanksgiving here nor do we get turkey. But one Christmas I made stuffed roasted chicken and worse than the other accompaniments getting cold was the fact that when we carved the bird, it was not cooked inside!!! Disaster. What is the time per Kilo for baking a chicken, or is it the same per weight as for turkey? I even thought I'd steam the bird for a short bit before stuffing and baking.

I really like the 1:00 - 2:30 bit.
