When cooking using a thermometer, we should ensure that the thermometer is placed at the correct place to get an accurate temperature reading. When cooking whole chicken, place the thermometer stem starting at the thickest part of the breast near the wing, so that the thermometer stem points in the same direction as the drumsticks to ensure that it is parallel to the breast bone and approximately 1 1/2" or 4 cm away from the bone. If the chicken is stuffed, then insert the thermometer stem into the center of the stuffing for proper readings.
