Detailed explanation-1: -Simply insert your food thermometer into the thickest part of the chicken (for a whole chicken, that would be the breast). You know your chicken is cooked when the thermometer reads 180°F (82°C) for a whole chicken, or 165°F (74°C) for chicken cuts.
Detailed explanation-2: -Poke the meat to see if juices are red or clear For properly cooked chicken, if you cut into it and the juices run clear, then the chicken is fully cooked. If the juices are red or have a pinkish color, your chicken may need to be cooked a bit longer.
Detailed explanation-3: -Whether you are roasting, frying, boiling, poaching, baking, grilling, or sautéing chicken, the temperature for cooked chicken is still 165° F.
Detailed explanation-4: -Beef, veal, lamb, and pork (steaks and roasts): 145°F. Ground meat: 160°F. Poultry: 165°F. 15-Jul-2022
