Congradulations....Hi Smoker Friends,
I just wanted to write to thank you all again for your kindness and share with you, that despite the raw chicken debacle, our lil bundle of joy arrived healthy and happy! Pregnancy paranoia got the best of me but I am so thankful that our precious lil angel is here.
I was really inspired by the support and kindness shown on this forum. Keep up the good work! I wish all of the internet was like this!

This was served to them at a smokehouse restaurant.Chxn pieces other than breasts need to go 170+ to get tender and young birds and the Ph of birds can have a pink color.

It may not be appetizing like beef but perfectly safe to eat. If it comes clean off the bone, then it's more than met the pasteurization requirements.This was served to them at a smokehouse restaurant.
