It depends how you're cooking it and how big the chicken is. I'm going to assume you're baking it in the oven. When baking in the oven it usually takes anywhere from an hour to an hour and a half or more (depending on size). If you're unsure, just prick the thickest portion of the chicken, normally the breast, with a fork. The juices should run clear from the chicken. You don't want to see any blood run from chicken.

untill the stands of the meat become apparant and until the meat is white or dark grey for the some of the peices in the thigh/legs.
if you are roasting a whole chicken,then a good rule is 18-20min/pound (40 Min./KG) on 350°-370°F (180-190°C) In A Preheated Oven.
FULLY DEFROSTED BIRD THAT IS at about 55°F (15°C) (Left Out Of TheFridge For About ½ an Hour.
HOPE THIS HELPS

Depends on how you cook it.
If you're unsure, test it by cutting into a piece in the center. It's done when it is no longer pink. A cooked chicken in thoroughly white.

You cook Chicken until you don't see any pink in the middle. you Check by cutting into meat to see. if it is on a bone you check by the bone to see if it is still pink or not. or you can check it to see if the juice running from the chicken is clear or not.

I used to run a restaurant in San Antonio at the Hilton and I always told my new cooks that "when the juices run clear" your in a safe zone when it comes to chicken... :)

You cook chicken until the inner temperature reaches 120 to 130 degrees.
From there you brown and fry to how ever you see fit.

If you fry: it take twenty minutes if the oil in hot already (oil must be hot)
If you bake : about 50 minutes at 350 F. large pieces like bone-in breasts may take longer to cook.
