7. After 90 minutes, check to be sure chicken is thoroughly cooked by using a meat thermometer to register 77° C/170° F in breast meat and 85°C/185° F in thigh meat. A stuffed chicken may take longer to cook. If you do not have a thermometer, check to be sure juices from chicken run clear without any traces of pink.
