The most accurate way would be with a meat thermometer - not sure on the proper temp, though. I just cut mine open and see if the juices run clear.

You're welcome. The temp for chicken is 165, by the way.

When chekcing meat be sure to check in the thickest part of meat so you know its really , and not to hit bone which can give you a false reading. 165 is the safe temp for chicken, and chicken has to be throughly cooked or it can make you sick.

Lte us know how the recipe is, and maybe share if its good!
