Question

at which temperature should cooked chicken breasts be hot-held prior to service?

Answer 1

Answer:

Bacteria grow rapidly between the temperatures of 40° F and 140° F. After food is safely cooked, hot food must be kept hot at 140° F or warmer to prevent bacterial growth. Within 2 hours of cooking food or after it is removed from an appliance keeping it warm, leftovers must be refrigerated.

Answer 2

the chicken needs to be cooked all the way to 140 degrees because bacteria grows from 40-140 degrees so cook to 140 to be safe
