Question: How do you know a chicken is cooked? I did the roast chicken recipe with the garlic and lemon, 3.5 lb chicken, 25 minutes on 350 and 30 minutes on 375. It said 30-45 but since the weight was at the low end of the range I used the low end of the time. I tested the temp at the thigh just like it said and the temp was right. Rested it on the counter while I reduced the sauce. Then, when I went to serve it, it was undercooked. This happens to me a lot - it's either rubbery or dried out, this time rubbery. I didn't know what to do with it so I threw it back on the stove in the sauce and covered it, and gave it 10 more minutes simmering. S12 already had no appetite from having tried a leg that wasn't done enough. It turned out kind of a bummer meal. (Fried rice the next night was good though)
