*Chicken Test for Doneness (per Washington Fryer Commission)
No matter what method you use for cooking chicken, the most accurate test for doneness is a meat thermometer. Since chicken is never ready to be served unless it is done, always be sure it is completely cooked. Whole or bone-in chicken should reach an internal temperature of 180ˇF, and boneless chicken should be cooked to 165ˇF.

Reader's Comments: This dish is delightful - I left out the dried apricots, but added extra garlic cloves and red chillies in for an extra kick. I also increased the amount of soy sauce, as it turns the chicken into an appealing dark golden brown colour when it's done.
When I make this again I may put in some dried pequin chiles for a little more zip, but it really is wonderful on its own!!
