Best Answer

It usually depends on the type of bacteria you are looking to kill. Most generic bacteria will be destroyed at an oven temperature at around 250 degrees Fahrenheit. Most people are incorrect though when they assume that it's just heat alone that kills bacteria as both pressure from autoclaves and the tremendous heat that does away with any bacterial organism.

I think that depends, but for chicken breasts they should be cooked to an internal temp. of 170 degrees F and whole chickens till the thighs reach an internal temp. of 180 degrees F
