MARINADE DETAILS:

The longer the better when it comes to marinating, but you also don’t want to go too long. You need to be careful because the acidity from the marinade can actually damage the meat by breaking it down too much!

FOOD COOKING SAFETY

All poultry should be cooked to a minimum internal temperature of 165°F (73.9°C), as recommended by the USDA. The best way to ensure that your food reaches the correct temperature is by using a food thermometer. Consider using the ThermoWorks Thermapen® ONE or the ThermoWorks ThermoPop® 2 for accurate temperature readings every time!
