Chicken is a common protein that many people eat in their diets. However, chicken can be cooked or eaten in different ways. It can be baked, fried or even grilled. No matter how you cook chicken, it is very important to make sure that the meat is fully cooked. If not, then there could be salmonella in the chicken. Failing to fully cook the chicken that has been contaminated with salmonella may and probably will result in the people getting sick who came in contact with this chicken.
Therefore, it is important to bake thawed chicken breasts for at least ½ an hour at 350 degrees Fahrenheit in an oven. Obviously, bigger pieces of chicken need to cook longer than smaller pieces, but this amount is standard for all chicken. A good way to tell if it is cooked fully is to cut the chicken in half.
