Quizplus · Accepted Answer

All of the above characteristics are indicators of a well-cooked bird. Clear juices, firm flesh, and a wiggly drumstick are all signs that the bird has been cooked to the proper temperature and is safe to eat. However, the bone showing on the tip of the legs is not necessarily an indicator of doneness, but rather a result of the skin shrinking during cooking.
