Your first post stated some pink still being near the bone. Definitely
undercooked and not good. Your favoring undercooked chicken does not
mean I favor overcooked chicken.

No. Undercooked and overcooked are both problematic.

It would seem that you cook birds like my MIL did. Rare, tough, chewy,
stringy and loving it that way. Tastes vary and you're welcome to do it
that way. I still have the nuke if I need to eat your raw stringy
chicken at some point.
