Why is my Chicken pink? 06/02/2024 We cook and monitor the progress of cooking using temperature rather than colour, looking for chicken to reach a minimum of 75C at the centre. The colour of chicken isn’t an indication of if it is cooked or not, so it is possible (and safe) to have pink chicken that is cooked. We primarily use steam or a mix of steam/dry heat for cooking as it helps keep food moist and reduces nutrient loss. There’s lots of information online about this so google away…
