We want chicken to be cooked to 165 degrees Fahrenheit (73.9 degrees Celsius). Don’t eat this!Īnd when I checked the internal temperature with a digital thermometer, it’s barely hitting 90 degrees Fahrenheit (32.2 degrees Celsius). When the outside of the chicken is cooked, you should be able to easily flip it over on the grill (or on your stove).Ĭutting into the chicken breast shows that it is definitely not cooked. That happens when the chicken isn’t “ready” to be flipped yet.
What do you think? Is this chicken breast done?Ī tell-tale sign that this chicken isn’t cooked is that when I flipped it over on the grill, it stuck to the grates. Let’s take a look at a chicken breast during grilling… and see how we can tell if it’s cooked! Undercooked Chicken Then it ends up overcooked and dry on the outside, and just barely cooked in the middle. It wasn’t ready to eat, so back to the grill it went. Or even worse, to my friends! And when I made the first cut into the chicken, it was still pink inside. I know I’ve done it… The chicken looked done on the grill (or in the pan, or in the oven), so I took it off and got ready to serve it to my family. Have you ever thought you had a perfectly cooked chicken breast, but when you sat down to eat it wasn’t quite cooked all the way through? A meat thermometer is the only way to know if that chicken is really fully cooked, or if it just looks like it’s fully cooked.
