Title: Brain lock on chicken temp
Post by: Up In Smoke on July 11, 2010, 01:44:52 PM
I have sever brain lock.
i put a chicken in the stumps at 11:40 a.m.
at 230 degrees, the IT of the bird 3 hours later
around the leg quarter was 140 degrees,
an hour later was still at 140 should i chuck the bird or let it keep cooking?
i cannot for the life of me remember how long under 140 is too long.

I'd keep cooking.

The exterior should be at a higher temp.

I severely overcooked some chicken breasts for the smoked buffalo chicken dip.

No one noticed.

I made a double batch and there is still hardly any left. and there were only 4 of us eating it. Oink.
