In Panicking Now, What Will Happen?

[abbeylee90]

I ate a chicken Kiev thinking it was meant to go in for 25 mins but think I put in for 20 after I'd eaten some of it I found pink on it. Will I have food poisoning now?

[barry1010]

I doubt it

[Hazlinny]

No.

[newmodarmy]

Did you carry on eating it after you saw the pink? If it was still warm I'd have just stuck it in the microwave a for 1-2 minutes

[abbeylee90]

No I binned it 

[smurfchops]

You should have cooked it for a little longer rather than throwing it away.  You aren't made of money Abby.

[abbeylee90]

I'd eaten quite abit.

[newmodarmy]

If there were any pink bits they'd have been in the middle or close to the bone. I doubt you ate any undercooked pink bits as you'd have seen them earlier.

I'm assuming the oven was preheated to the right temperature before you cooked it for 20 minutes.

I always give chicken a couple more minutes just to be sure or turn the heat off and leave it in for 5 more minutes, just as a precaution.

[abbeylee90]

Yes it was highest temperature 

[abbeylee90]

Its s chicken breast do no bone

[abbeylee90]

So

I got stomach cramps hope it isn't to do with this

You should be fine Abbey.... your mind is probably playing tricks with you. You might get a bit of stomach upset.

Color does not indicate doneness. The USDA further explains that even fully cooked poultry can sometimes show a pinkish tinge in the meat and juices.

Doubt you will die.

Have a raucous fart, guaranteed you'll feel better.

Never eat chicken! It's one of the main causes of stomach complaints in this country, along with fresh fish. 

[1ozzy]

So what should one eat 10clarionst?

Roast beef and Yorkshire pud?

[10ClarionSt]

It's a question of choice, ozzy. I rarely eat roast beef, but I won't say never. However, I do avoid chicken, fresh fish, curries, pizzas, tap water, bottled water, chocolate and coffee. Apart from that - fine!
