Afraid to cook chicken..Need some good tips.?

oh god no anything cooked in a crock pot for more than for hours is going to be done unless it was frozen. go to walmart and buy your boyfriend an instant read thermometer.they are only a couple of bucks might even sell them at the dollar store. poultry should read 180 f right before eating .it should however be taken out of the oven or fryer at 165 carry over cooking will raise the temp that much in 10 to 15 min if covered. I have had to put up with the health board for alot of years. no one ever got sick at my restaurant
