The best way to determine if the chicken is cooked through is to use a meat thermometer. Insert it into the thickest part of the chicken (usually the thigh) and ensure it reads 165°F (74°C). If you don't have a meat thermometer, you can insert a fork or knife into the thickest part of the chicken, usually the thigh. If the juices run clear and there is no pinkness, it's cooked. If the leg joint moves freely and the meat pulls away from the bone easily, the chicken is likely cooked.
