i always pull mine at 170 for the risk of dryin out. 165 is FDA approved, but i think if u pull at 170 and crisp for a couple mins, you will have it at 175 and crispy. Any further and they can dry out

FDA says 170 for breast, 180 for whole poultry, and you check this by testing the thighs.

170 if you didn't brine, 180 if you did, then a minute or two over the highest heat you can find.
