Shaniqua has never prepared baked chicken before, but she is quite experienced in baking pork tenderloin. She knows that it's important to bake the chicken thoroughly to rid it of any pathogens. Shaniqua remembers that pork tenderloin must reach a temperature of 145° F so she figures that will do for the chicken . Shaniqua's family is excited to carve into the baked chicken but then gasps when the inside has pink undercooked spots. What should Shaniqua have done differently ?
Turned the setting on her oven to broil instead of bake .
Basted the chicken with butter or oil during baking.
Looked up the internal cooking temperature for chicken .
Taken a bite out of the inside of the chicken before serving .
