  The chicken is ready when a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part, away from the bone, reads 74°C. If not, cook it a little longer.

  Tip: The size of the chicken drumsticks and thighs can alter the cooking time. For best results, using a probe, test for doneness 3-5 minutes before the end of the cook.
