Explanation
Answer: A -If you are cooling cooked chicken and the internal temperature does not reach 70°F within 2 hours, you should reheat the chicken and start the cooling process over. Pathogens grow faster in the temperature zone between 135°F and 70°F. Any cooling process you use should ensure that the chicken passes through this temperature zone within 2 hours. To avoid inconvenience, you should check the temperature of the chicken frequently so that you can take action during the cooling process.
