Folks, I did not think that chicken temp can stall. As I'm typing this, the temp has been sitting at 155 for the last 1.5 hours. Using a barrel cooker and the air temp is about 260.
Scotch: Current favorite- The Arran (anything by them), Glenmorangie 12yr Lasanta, sherry cask finished. The Balvenie Double Wood, also like Oban 18yr, and The Glenlivet Nadurra (Oloroso sherry cask finished) among others. Neat please.

Have you verified this by moving the probe in & out, or using another thermometer? Chicken doesn't usually "stall" the same way hunks of beef & pork do, and this seems really odd. If this is the breast temp then I'd call it cooked.
theleeb +1 on Huskee's observation. I've never seen a chicken or turkey stall. Agree that you need to move the probe or use an instant read thermo to confirm.
Of course chicken can stall. The reason it usually doesn’t is that we typically don’t cook chicken much over 165F internal (or at least we shouldn’t), which is usually the temp where things start to stall. Second, if the oven temp is above 300F (as is typical for roasting chickens to get crispy skin), most things won’t "stall" because the oven air temp overpowers the evaporative cooling and the moisture is leaving the surface too fast.
