What temp should you cook a chicken and to what the interior get to?

The safe internal temperature for cooked chicken is 165 degrees Fahrenheit (74 degrees Celsius). To ensure that the chicken is cooked to this temperature, you should use a meat thermometer to check the temperature in the thickest part of the chicken breast or thigh.

Chicken should be cooked until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). This temperature can vary slightly depending on the cooking method and the type of chicken being cooked. For example, white meat chicken may need to be cooked to a slightly higher temperature than dark meat chicken.
