I find 165°F (74°C) is the sweet spot for pulled chicken! It's cooked through and juicy, but not dry or overdone ..Using a meat thermometer is key to avoid guessing though

Hey there, @johnlloyd ! For chicken done the killer way, try to cook it up to get around 165°F (74°C) internal temp. It’s just the right spot for moist, tender absolute yumminess!

For perfectly pulled meat, aim for a temp of about 190-205°F (88-96°C). This range ensures it's tender enough to shred easily without being dry. Slow and low is the way to go for the best results! What’s your go-to pulled meat recipe?
