How do you know when ground chicken is cooked?

You want to cook it so that it is all a light brown in color. Any pink at all means that you should cook it longer. If you are using a thermometer you want your ground chicken to at least 165°F but closer to 170°F.

How do I cook ground chicken without drying it out?

Ground chicken also needs to be cooked at a lower temperature than ground beef or pork due to its lower fat content. This will ensure that the chicken does not dry out too quickly. Finally, be sure to season well. Ground chicken's lighter taste means it has less flavour on its own.

Is ground chicken pink when cooked?

The color should be uniform throughout the meat. Also, keep in mind – that fully cooked chicken still on the bone can be pink around the bone. This is because the blood in the vessels doesn't cook until it has reached a higher temperature. If your chicken has reached a temperature of 165℉, it is safe to eat.
