Notes
How to check for doneness without a kitchen thermometer
If you don't have a kitchen thermometer use the tip of a sharp knife or a skewer and poke into the thickest part of the chicken (between the body & the leg) to check for doneness. If the juices run clear it's ready if the juices are still red, leave it to cook longer. However, please remember that the chicken will continue cooking while it rests so if you see the liquid slightly red, put it back in the oven but watch it because you probably only need a few more minutes. Once the juices are clear pull it out and let it redistribute those juices that's why it needs to rest! That's how you get tender and not rubbery chicken.
