Jfunmi8 covered one aspect the others didn't mention. Sometimes, near the bone, it will still be a darkish brown/red. I have purchased many cooked chickens from my local grocery store and the internal temperature was perfect but it was that darkish brown/red near the bone.
It doesn't have to do with age since all fryers are around 4 weeks old. But what I think it has to do with is that all the blood wasn't drained out of the bird and it pooled there - kind of like when we get a bruise.
So, if you have a piece of boneless meat, red means not done. If there's a bone, and it's just that brown/red next to the bone but the juices are clear and the temperature is correct, then it's what I said above.
You don't want to overcook the bird. If the meat is underdone, it will also have a translucent look to it instead of an opaque white or brown look (for thigh and leg).

NO! Chicken should be cooked to an internal temperature of 180°F. Use a meat thermometer. If you have smoked the chicken you may some some red down near the bone as smoking brings out the marrow in the bone.

in case you may prefer to comprehend if the chicken is accomplished, purely placed a thermometer interior the middle and look at the temperature. If the temperature is approximately one hundred seventy stages, it extremely is cooked. additionally, if the middle is white, no longer pink that's completely suitable for eating. you additionally can tell by utilizing touching the beef. there's a remarkable difference of the firmness interior the beef whilst that's uncooked and whilst that's cooked. yet that takes a sprint greater adventure. As for the streak of darkish pink, that would desire to no longer be a situation. If it exchange into very skinny, like a chew of string, that's a streak of fat interior the beef that had blood in it or some thing (it extremely is in basic terms a extraordinary guess, i'm uncertain).

It may not be. Safest thing to do is buy a meat thermometer - they cost no more than a couple bucks - and stick it into the thickest part of the chicken when you think it's done. It should read a temperature inside there of at least 165 degrees F. Anything less and you risk food poisoning - and man, that SUCKS!

No it doesn't sound like it. If it is properly cooked it should be white and the juices will run clear. I wouldn't eat it if I were you ! It needs cooking for longer. In the oven this usually takes 35-40 mins.

It's not cooked if it's red.... it should be white.
Test by poking with a fork - if the juices run clear (not pink or pinkish) the chicken should be cooked.

if you're talking about the flesh, no, it's not cooked.
young birds will often still have red near the bones when the flesh is fully cooked.
use a cooking thermometer to be sure it's reached 165 to 170 degrees

No. It is extremely undercooked. It has to be white throughout the who piece of chicken to be cooked. You cannot eat raw chicken because of the bacteria, unlike beef, where you can eat it raw in moderation.
