Is Eating Chicken Healthy?
Well, yes...and no. As a general assumption, too much of anything is probably not healthy. Most people are aware that chicken can pass on dangerous bacteria if not handled and cooked properly. And, most of us are concerned with the fat content, calories, sodium and cholesterol of the food we eat. Chicken is comparitively low fat if the skin is removed. However, some chicken recipes depend on the skin being present to obtain the objective of the recipe. An example is Southern Fried Chicken that is best with a crunchy crust.

How Long Should I Cook Chicken?
You should always consider raw chicken to contain bacteria that can harm you if ingested. The bacteria is killed by cooking to the proper temperature. The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) states: "Cook all poultry to a safe minimum internal temperature of 165 degrees F. as measured with a food thermometer". The recommended method to read the temperature is to place an instant read meat thermometer into the thickest part of the chicken, without touching bone, and cook until the thermometer reaches the desired temperature.
