I smoked some chicken on my smoker and cooked it to 165° F. Is it safe to eat?

Poultry grilled or smoked outdoors can be pink, even when all parts have reached temperatures well above 160° F. There may be a pink-colored rim about one-half inch wide around the outside of the cooked product. Commercially prepared, smoked poultry is usually pink because it is prepared with natural smoke and liquid smoke flavor.
