Thighs and drumsticks can cook for up to ten hours before they start to lose flavor or juiciness but white meat cooks much faster. If you are cooking breasts, the maximum cooking time should be six or seven hours depending on the recipe.

Poultry needs to be 170 degrees F in the town in order to be safely cooked.

Use an instant read thermometer to make sure the meat is done properly. You can also cut into one of the larger pieces of meat to check it is piping hot in the middle but, if you are cooking whole breasts or pieces, this will ruin the appearance of the closed dish, so the thermometer would be a best idea.
