If you are just learning to cook or have been over cooking or under cooking food forever one of the best tools you can invest in is a meat thermometer..... ! Once your meat is a the correct temperature give it a touch with your finger. This will give you an idea what it feels like when its done...
Always let your meat rest before serving this is very important.. If you cut into your meat as soon as it come off the grill or out of the oven all of the juices will run out and you will be left with a dry hockey puck!! Not good. Chicken is cook at 165! Don't cook it to 200 degrees!
