How to Tell When Roast Chicken is Done?
The safest and best way to tell if chicken is cooked through is to use a kitchen thermometer. Chicken should be cooked to an internal temperature of 165°. Make sure to check the temperature at different parts of the chicken, especially between the drumstick and the breast. The temperature needs to be 165° in all places for it to be done. Otherwise put it back in the oven and check again every 5 to 10 minutes.
