When I cook chicken in the oven it comes out tough. Is there any way for my chicken to come out tender?

I recommend you use a thermometer to check internal temperature of the chicken. Chicken MUST be cooked to a minimum of 161 F in all parts of the meat. Anywhere between 161and 170 F will give you juicy tender chicken.
