A 5.47 lb chicken should reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) when fully cooked to ensure it is safe to eat. It's best to check the temperature using a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the breast and thigh, avoiding the bone. Let the chicken rest for a few minutes after cooking to allow the juices to redistribute before carving.
