This is a chicken leg off of a whole chicken. I tempt it at 170 before I pulled it out of the smoker. Is it normal for blood to still be in there? Where the blood is coming out there is where it connects to the body.
Help! Is this chicken done!?!

Not done yet! No red juices, your probe was a bit shallow. You need to be next to but not on the bone nd closer to the carcass to test IT. If your hungry, a couple minutes in the microwave will take care of that issue...JJ

So, what can I do with it now?
It has fully cooled off. Can I put it on a roasting rack in my roasting pan and bake it?
Or maybe microwave the heck out of it when I portion it out on a plate?

Finish it in the oven or better yet, put in to a large pot of already boiling water. Boil for 20-25 minutes, turn off heat and leave covered for 1 hour. Several years ago, my wife and I both ate under cooked chicken from a restaurant and both spent the next day in the emergency room. Not something I would recommend to a friend.
The above boiling procedure is good for making boiled chicken starting with a whole raw chicken.
