Cook's notes
Chicken will be safe to eat when a meat thermometer reads 165°F (75°C) in the middle, or when cut all the juices run clear. I always recommend using a thermometer.This is SPICY! You've been warned, if you don't like food that is very spicy you may have to reduce the cayenne pepper powder.
