It is strange that a cooking temperature was not given, given the fact that approximate timing was given. So perhaps my “clearly” is a little stronger than it should be. I just recognize 170F as a target temp for chicken (there are a few, depending on what cut of chicken), so it may have seemed more obvious to me.
Well, it was obvious to me because I know how to cook.
I’m not Julia Childs, but 170C just made me shake my head.
I’m not sure where we’re at now in this discussion, but some people do, indeed, cook their chicken at 170C, or 325F. Maybe not with those times, but it’s not uncommon.
This. Hell, that’s how I read the instructions in the first place.
Oh, unless you were thinking cook the chicken to 170C? You’re probably saying something obvious, but I’m brainfarting here.
Take a picture of the side of the box for us Leaffan.
Politely.
I’m looking at a box right now. On top of the back there is a box labeled “You will need:” Along with telling you about how much chicken you need and one egg it says “Heat oven to 400f.” Further down it mentions 165f for the internal temp. Why would the Canadian package be different?
It could have been clearer because someone else besides the OP might be roasting chicken for the very first time and have no idea what temperature the oven would be and what temperature the chicken should be cooked too.
They do things different up there. It’s the extreme cold, I think. Maybe the short days (or is it long days?).
They put cheese curds and cow stomach on French fries. They call it pootang or something.
There are people actually who stick thermometers into their Shake & Bake chicken? Paranoid much?
Hey, you don’t want Mad Chicken Disease.
Yeah, I think that’s right.
So i had a friend of mine in Toronto send me a pic of the directions on the shake n bake boxes. Both the original chicken and extra crispy chicken packages clearly have oven preheat instructions at the very top.
