inShowerthought: pitmasters' obsession with temp probes finally makes sense to me
I had the same issue until I started checking the internal temperature every time. My old timer method left everything dry and tough. Now I pull the chicken out a few degrees early and let it rest. The carryover heat brings it to the perfect safe temperature without drying out. It takes a bit of practice to get the timing right, but it's worth it. Juicy chicken every time now.
