- 4 (4 ounce) boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs
- For the Marinade:
- 4 medium green onions, sliced

The thermometer worked perfectly and was a critical part of making sure that my chicken was properly cooked. The last thing anyone wants is a bite of uncooked chicken. This thermometer offers a digital reading ranging from -40 to 450-degrees F and is NSF certified. There is a built-in clip for mounting and a protection cap to place over the end with the probe. The hold function is a nice added feature. It is also not dishwasher safe.
I tested a few different types of meat alongside a digital thermometer I already had. This one worked just as well as the one I already had. I am very happy with the thermometer’s accuracy. Plus, the big screen is a nice addition.
This recipe is one that is now a family favorite and the digital thermometer is a great way to make sure I get my recipe cooked perfectly for us to enjoy.
Lovely recipe. Thanks for the review of the digital thermometer. I'm shopping for a new one!
ReplyDeleteThis chicken looks and sounds so good. I am very surprised that it does not have a lot more spices in it. I have all of this on hand including some chicken that I bought yesterday.
ReplyDeleteMy son has a heart transplant so we make sure we always check the meat we cook with one its so important to do. I love the recipe too.
ReplyDeleteThis looks so good. I'm always looking for new recipes and I'm definitely going to make this tonight.
