Visually, you should be able to tell if one side of the chicken has cooked faster than the other if the skin has browned more on one side. You can also test this more accurately with the thermal probe. Once you've established that the oven is in fact not cooking evenly, identifying what's causing the problem is where things become a little more tricky.
The oven will heat unevenly if either the bake or broil elements are burned out. If the bake element isn't working, only the broil element will heat the oven -- and vice versa -- leading to uneven heating during the preheating phase. You can do a quick visual test to see if either element is burned out by preheating your oven.
If either the bake bottom or broil top elements are not glowing red hot, it will need to be replaced. You may also be able to discern visual defects on the elements, which may indicate that they are faulty or burned out. The temperature sensor inside the oven can wear out over time. First, check and see if the sensor is touching the wall of the oven. If so, reposition it so it's not contacting the wall.
You can also test whether the sensor is working properly by using an ohmmeter. As the temperature inside the oven rises, the resistance reading of the temperature sensor should also rise. If the temperature sensor is faulty, replacing the part is a quick fix you can do yourself.
Otherwise, consult a professional. Some ovens simply cook differently. To deal with this, you should learn how your oven cooks. Use the toast test to learn how you should rotate trays or food while you cook. Try adjusting the racks and using different types of baking pans -- perhaps glassware or even heating stones to even out your cooking.
Baking pans are meant to be reflective, so if your older pans are browning with age, consider replacing or deep cleaning them with a scrub sponge and vinegar, baking soda and hot water to bring back their old shine.

Another reason your oven is not cooking your food evenly is that your cooker may be having trouble maintaining the temperature you set it to.
This can happen when you have a faulty thermostat as the over can no longer tell how hot it is getting. The thermostat alerts your oven when it has reached to level you set it to, so if it is broken you may find your oven is changing temperature, either under or overheating your meals.

If you food actually doesn't seem to be getting hot at all it may be something wrong with your oven element. Your oven element is the part of your oven that is responsible for getting your oven hot, without it the oven is of very little use!

Lay unimportant towels on the counter and set the oven racks on them. The counter will show you if the racks can lie flat without wobble. From there, you can inspect the tracks for obstructions, warping, and design flaws. The three solutions to an uneven oven rack are to re-set the racks, clean the oven, or replace the racks. Oven ignitors can get weak over time and while they will get hot enough to glow they might not be getting hot enough to light the gas in the oven to start raising the temperature.
Replacing the ignitor is the only way to solve this issue. In some households, the oven is a perfectly good place to store pans. Whether those pans are forgotten from quick toasting or are clean and stored, having extra pans in the oven while cooking is never a good idea. You see, the pans absorb some of the heat and block it from reaching your cooking dish.
Uneven distribution of pans can, understandably, result in an uneven distribution of heat causing your food to cook unevenly. The solution? Get those pans out of there. If you do use your oven for storage, clear the space before pre-heating. If you tend to forget pans, check every time before you turn on the oven. Another problem can be trying to multi-task too much with your oven. It is possible to cook multiple items at once, but you must do so strategically.
Ensure that each dish is capable of receiving the necessary heat and distribution. You can also warm items in the oven on the same or nearby pans.
However, it is often necessary to increase your oven temp and cook times for everything to cook through.
