If the bone of a chicken is red, does that mean the chicken wasn't cooked completely?

Answer 1

Not necessarily. If the chicken was previously frozen, especially if frozen for a long period of time, the bones will be reddish, no matter how well done. The best way to tell if your chicken is done enough is to see if the leg moves easily in the socket when you twist it - if it does, then it's cooked enough.

Answer 2

Red Chicken Bones

Answer 3

No not necessarily . Your standard supermarket fryer chicken is around 3.5 lbs and about 6-8 weeks old. It's a young bird. Young animals have very spongy and highly vascular bones particularly at the joints. It is therefore entire possible to have a properly cooked chicken with red spongy joints. Calibrate your thermometer and believe it's readings.

Answer 4

no not always... u should always check the temp of chicken so you know its been cooked all the way through... it should be between 90-100 degrees

Answer 5

The bone is where the blood is formed. If the bone is still red, this means that there is still blood in it. I would not eat it. It just sounds gross to me.
