- Always cook chicken well done, not medium or rare. If using a meat thermometer, the internal temperature should reach 180 degrees F for whole chicken, 170 degrees F for bone-in parts and 160 degrees F for boneless parts.

- To check visually for doneness, pierce chicken with fork; juices should run clear - not pink - when fork is inserted with ease.

- Never leave cooked chicken at room temperature for more than 2 hours. If not eaten immediately, cooked chicken should be kept either hot or refrigerated.

- Marinade in which raw chicken has been soaking should never be used on cooked chicken.
