Let me say this loud and clear: Stop guessing with a fork or a timer! You wouldn’t drive a car without a speedometer, right? Don’t cook chicken without a thermometer. It’s the only way to know for sure.
An instant-read digital thermometer costs about $10 and changes your life. Stick it in the thickest part, avoid the bone, and wait three seconds. Boom—no more dry, no more dangerous.
Pro tip: Wash your thermometer between tests. Cross-contamination is a sneaky villain.
