I cooked some chicken and I'm not sure if it was done ?

Question

i cooked some chicken breast and the chicken looked done but i wasen't sure after i ate it

Answer 1

Sometimes I do this, you can check by cutting deep and checking if it is pink or reddish. If it is, then is definitely not cooked all the way.

Answer 2

was it red or bloody?  If it was solid and opague it is done.  But you should always cook chicken by either timing or temp with an meat thermometer.  

Answer 3

Was it pink at all? You have to cook chicken for long enough. How long did you cook it?

Answer 4

It shouldn't look pink and any juices should have been clear.

You really should have checked that before you ate it.

Answer 5

Chicken is done when juices run clear, there is no visible pink color, the meat is firm to the touch, and 165F. If you didn't see pink, and it was firm, and the juices in the pan were clear, it was done.  

Answer 6

If there was any pink inside or grayish pink, the meat is not done. If it was all whitish (or grayish if it's dark meat) it's done. Your best bet is to use a thermometer. If you haven't already gotten ill you should be fine.

Answer 7

Answer 8

chicken is cooked if the meat is not pink looking and the juices are clear.

Answer 9

Answer 10

if you are right as rain tomorrow it was cooked..If your on the crapper all day it wasn,t.

Good luck.

Answer 11

as long as the middle part is white and not pink, you should be okay

Answer 12

You should get a meat thermometer. That's really the most accurate way of telling whether foods are done or not, and they're not very expensive.  

Answer 13

If it wasn't pink or red on the inside it was done.  If you don't want to cut into it to find out then look at the juices.  If they run clear then it's done.  Happy cooking!
