My mother says you bake chicken at 45 minutes to an hour on 350 and it's done. My meat thermometer is not so sure.

It's been 40 minutes, the chicken seems to be at 135. FDA says 165 is safe.

Not FDA, USDA! they're the ones in charge of meat. FDA does everything else. -- nm - loosilu Jul 19, 18:39
remember: white = cooked...red/pink = you'll be sick -- nm - peglegpete Jul 19, 17:11
grilling is so much better -- nm - GWAA Jul 19, 16:47
The thick cut chicken breasts I bake at 375 for about 40 minutes -- nm - Stephen Jul 19, 16:39
I'm not very trustworthy of this meat thermometer, it's all over the place. - ty97 Jul 19, 16:28 11

  - fwiw, this is always how my parent's cooked it. cut it in half, make sure there is no pink - ty97 Jul 19, 16:29 3
    - that's how we do it too. -- nm - TFox Jul 19, 16:33 2
      - I was concerned when the meat thermometer said 135, but then I put it in other thick part and it claimed 190. elsewhere 180. it's schizo. -- nm - ty97 Jul 19, 16:34 1
        
        it's possible the temperature is diffferent in those spots, right? -- nm - loosilu Jul 19, 18:40

i'm going to be the contrary voice. it's probably fine. just serve it and take your chances -- nm - 500 dugs of summer Jul 19, 16:18
So many variables. Original temperature, accuracy of oven thermostat, position in over....go by the meat thermometer. -- nm - MojaveMeg Jul 19, 16:17

Is it a whole chicken? Cut up? That makes a difference. If it's whole you need to cook it longer -- nm - Redmond Jul 19, 16:14 2
- it's two breasts. - ty97 Jul 19, 16:15 1
  - I would cook those an hour if I was doing it. Just don't overcook or they will be dry. -- nm - Redmond Jul 19, 16:16
