Does Cooking Change the Meaning of Color?
Yes!
Chicken can turn:
- White → fully cooked
- Slightly pink near bone → sometimes normal (especially in young birds)
But internal temperature must reach 75°C (165°F) to be safe.
The Big Myth People Still Believe
❌ “White chicken is always better”
❌ “Yellow chicken is unhealthy”
❌ “Pink chicken is always dangerous”
None of these are universally true.
Understanding chicken color is about context, not fear.
Final Thoughts

Next time you’re buying chicken, don’t just look—understand 🐔✨
