Chicken Thighs Undercooked

Your thighs are pink near the bone because they did not cook long enough. Finish gently without drying the meat.

The fix

Pin it

Tap a step to check it off.

  1. 1 cover with foil and bake at 325F for 10 minutes
  2. 2 check for 175F near the bone
  3. 3 rest 5 minutes before serving

If it's still wrong

  • slice and simmer in a sauce until tender
  • shred for tacos or bowls

Prevent next time

  • use a thermometer and target 175F
  • sear first, then finish at lower heat

Notes

Why this works

Thighs contain connective tissue that softens at higher temperatures. A low oven finish brings them to a safe, tender temperature.
