i have the oven set on like 370 and it's been in for around an hour and a half. how long should it stay in? no foil or anything and i don't want to cut it open yet but i don't want to over cook it. it smells pretty good and looks like it's getting pretty golden.

You should cook chicken for 20-25 minutes per pound

If it's golden and has been in there for 90 minutes at 370, I say it's done. Eat it. If you have a meat thermometer you stick it in the thick part someplace and see if it goes up at least to 160 degrees F.
You didn't say how big the chicken is. Cooking time is usually given in minutes per pound.
I always put garlic powder under the skin when I cook a chicken that way.

Best is marinate it for 3 hours before butting it in the oven and then set the temp to 350 and it will be done in 30 minutes. Will smell great and taste good too. Marinate it with curd mixed with spices as per your choice and your taste bud.

The rule is that if it smells good it's done. cut it open and if it isn't done put it back in for five minutes at a time. don't be fooled by any red you might see near the bone, the bones will always bleed, wven if you cook the bird for hours.

I cook my whole chickens on 350 covered for 2 hours.

The best way I have found is if you tug on the leg part it should move easily. If the juices run clear. It's done.
The best way of course is a meat thermometer.

It should be close to done. Check the leg with a knife to make sure the juices aren't running pink.

That's about right. It should be done now, as long as it wasn't frozen when you started. Top should be golden brown and crispy looking.

I would cover it & leave it in for about 2 hours or so.
