Look, cooking chicken anxiety is real. We’ve all been there, hovering over a skillet like a helicopter parent. But the solution is absurdly simple: buy a thermometer, use it, and trust it. It’s not cheating; it’s just being smart.
Next time you cook chicken, channel your inner nerd. Be precise, be patient, and let the internal temp be your guide. Your dinner will be safer, juicier, and far more impressive than any guesswork. And you’ll never have to awkwardly eat a bread roll alone while watching someone’s date flee the scene.
Now go forth and probe some poultry. Your taste buds—and your stomach—will thank you.
