If I recall correctly, the SchlemmerTopf clayware is unglazed. If so,
it needs recuring, more than likely. Also, the time will depend on
whether you start the chicken in a cold oven, or preheat (I always
start clayware in a cold oven...) What I do, is start my timing when
the cold oven reaches the cooking temperature, and use the same times
I would for a metal roaster (covered of course).
