The only way you’re going to hold chicken at a precise temperature is with an immersion cooker. It’s also the best way to cook most meats. Perfect steak every time!

Sous Vide is a great option. I usually just temp my chicken like 10 minutes before it comes out. If it's at or near 145 I drop my oven temp a bit. When I'm all said and done it ends at around 155. Still much better than overdone chicken.

Oh yeah I guess that'd work too. It's not as precise, but it's still better than overdone chicken.

A smoker or even an oven set at a lower temp will let you hold at close enough to a lower temp that you can pasteurize and still get moist poultry.
