Apparently this was chicken. Dry chicken is the worst.

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

I do, and 165 is way too high.

Not for chicken 160-165 is perfect.

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

Shimmy

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

No, too high. 150 or so.

Snipe

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.

This is what I do for our Thanksgiving turkey

Cheesy Gordita

Way, way, way too high for chicken.

Needle thermometer

Snipe

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

kotacoug

I cut into one and base it off that.

ChubbyChaser

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.
