Does this chicken look cooked there was a reddish blood vessel on a small piece I threw it away?

I don’t eat that blood vessel bit, it’s too grim for me. As long as all the chicken is thoroughly cooked, you’ll be fine

Like others have said, a thermometer is your best bet

Don't use appearance to judge the doneness of any meat. Always use a meat thermometer.

It's not uncommon to find a reddish blood vessel in cooked chicken. As long as the meat has reached the safe internal temperature of 165°F (75°C), it should be safe to eat. Visual cues like clear juices and no pink areas should also help determine doneness. If unsure, using a food thermometer is always a reliable method. 🍗
