The following is from the United States Department of Agriculture: âCook a whole chicken to a safe minimum internal temperature of 165 Â°F. (75 Â°C) as measured using a food thermometer. Check the internal temperature in the innermost part of the thigh and wing and the thickest part of the breast. For reasons of personal preference, consumers may choose to cook poultry to higher temperatures.
It depends on a few factors: what the recipe calls for; the oven temperature; and how many pounds of chicken it is. Chicken should always be cooked to an internal (inside the thickest point of the chicken) temperature of at least 165 degrees for at least 15 seconds.ou should bake 2 lbs. of chicken breasts in the oven at 350  degrees for one hour if the chicken is on the bone. If the chicken  is boneless it will take less time.
