when is chicken done temp
This goes to the very heart of the liberal/conservative debate  and, as you can imagine, it s not pretty. Our government says that you should cook a whole chicken until the temperature measured in the thigh is 180Â°F (82Â°C). If you cook chicken pieces, the government says, the thigh, wings, and drumsticks should be 180Â°F, while the breast should reach 170Â°F (77Â°C).
