Like a lot of scientific rules, there's debate and change.

Apparently this was chicken. Dry chicken is the worst.

7/5/15 4:11pm

There is no way chicken should be dry and chewy at 165 degrees

There's your problem, there has to be something to help keep the juices in, if

Not for chicken 160-165 is perfect.

kotacoug

7/5/15 3:48pm

Oh, whoa. I thought he was talking about beef. Typical poor reading skills.

Shimmy

7/5/15 3:57pm

I lied and told her it reached 165

conetah

Chicken is done at 165. I typically pull it at 160 and let it rise off heat

Chicken at 160ish should be really juicy maybe your

No, too high. 150 or so.

Snipe

7/5/15 5:15pm

Nope not a fan of the mouth feel at 150

kotacoug

7/5/15 5:24pm

I can do 155.

Snipe

7/5/15 6:56pm

Oh, and brining helps a TON. Makes the "window" wider.

Snipe

7/5/15 6:58pm

This is what I do for our Thanksgiving turkey

7/5/15 4:10pm

Way, way, way too high for chicken.

I would have told her to take a hike.

7/5/15 4:39pm

What do you do cut into each one?

kotacoug

7/5/15 5:09pm

Needle thermometer

Snipe

7/5/15 5:14pm

Pretty hard to see the translucency of the meat with a needle therm

kotacoug

7/5/15 5:26pm

I cut into one and base it off that.

7/5/15 6:21pm

Problem with that is that every piece is a different thickness

kotacoug

7/5/15 10:34pm

That's why I pound every piece of chicken with a mallet prior to cooking.

7/5/15 10:37pm

Sous vide that sucker to a perfect 145
