It's important to note that internal temperature is the most reliable way to know that the chicken is properly cooked. The recommended safe temperature for fully cooked poultry is 165°F (74°C) and will prevent any foodborne illness. And allowing the chicken to rest for a few minutes before slicing allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, which makes for a more moist and flavorful final product.
