The problem is getting the interior up to temp

The "official" danger zone is between 40 and 140 degrees for more than 4 hours. How long does it take that chicken in the middle of it all to get above the danger zone?

It's going to be in the danger zone for some time . . .

. . so there will be some microbe proliferation. On the other hand, the USDA says all the microbes are dead by 165°F and will then do no harm (privately they've said they're all dead by 150°F but they like to err on the side of safety).

If you make absolutely sure the center is at 160°F you can pull it and let it rest for 1/2 hour (as you always should with a turkey). The center temperature should soon climb to 165°F and you should be safe.
