Answer to Question 1

165F is the minimum internal temperature of cooked poultry. The minimum internal temperature is set higher for poultry than for beef or fish because of the high incidence of Salmonella associated with poultry. Salmonella is somewhat temperature resistant and requires a higher temperature to kill it.

Answer to Question 2

Dark meat has more fat, iron, some vitamins, and connective tissue than white meat.
