When the internal temperature is 160 degrees or over.
165 Fahrenheit. Just make sure it isn't pink inside and it should be safe. Chicken is usually safest out of most meats
Internal temperature of 165 F.
In order to be safe and keep its nutritional value chicken needs to be cooked to 170 to 180 degrees inside.

Cooking chicken is done by using a slightly lower temperature, and allowing a longer time to the chicken to be cooked fully through. Cooking at a high temp. will char the outside of the meat, and leave the inside uncooked.
Cook fresh pork to 160 degrees Fahrenheit. Fresh pork cooked to medium doneness as measured with a food thermometer may still be pale pink inside but will be safe.
It is potentially harmful to eat undercooked pork, but color is not always the best indicator. Sometimes spices, seasonings and even herbs can affect the color of cooked meat. A thermometer should be used to determine if the meat is fully cooked. USDA recommends an internal temperature of 160°F for pork.
While temperatures may vary depending on how you like your chicken, the lowest temperature while still being safe is 165 degrees F. Once the inside has reached that temperature, you may take it off the grill. BEFORE you eat though, cut through the chicken and make sure its cooked.
This is a tricky question. Really depends how one prepares the fowl; but what cooks at home need to know, is internal temp of at least 165'. If it's a whole chick, check temp in the thick area of the leg-quater. i my self fry chix at 325', slow and low, doesn't dry the meat out, more moist too..
It allows you to make sure that the meat is cooked to the proper temperature. This means the meat is cooked all the way through to the desired degree of doneness. Properly cooked meat prevents people from getting sick.
Yes. I would refrigerate parboiled chicken for food safety reasons. If its only par cooked then the chicken would still be raw inside and could become contaminated if left out at room temperature
Sure, why not? Fried chicken with tomatoes and zucchini? Roast chicken stuffed with cubes of acorn squash and walnuts? A chicken stew cooked inside a whole pumpkin? I'd try it.
