Recipe Notes
Testing Chicken for doneness: No matter what method you use for cooking chicken, the most accurate test for doneness is a meat thermometer. Since chicken is never ready to be served until it is done, always be sure it is completely cooked. Whole or bone-in chicken should reach an internal temperature of 180 degrees F, and boneless chicken should be cooked to 165 degrees F. Other indicators for doneness include: A fork or toothpick can be inserted with ease. The juices should be clear, not pink. Bone joints move easily.
