4. good to know. but how about if it was in your kitchen? different standards. nt

5. It's fine.

It's chicken so you have to cook it pretty thoroughly anyways.

If it were ground chuck, I'd be telling you to toss it or crumble and brown it pretty good...no patties, no medium-rare, no meatloaf. Chili or sloppy-joes or hamburger helper.

7. I'd risk it for myself, but not cooking for others.

I am paranoid about cooking for others, but play mad scientist on myself often.

11. OMG... you are welcome. good luck on it thawing on time, lol. nt

[Rabrrrrrr]

12. You're fine - just be absolutely sure you cook it thoroughly.

Which you likely would have done anyway.

[HEyHEY]

13. I wouldn't you're talking to a guy who is recovering as we speak ....

From Food poisoning. Monday night i had some chicken... around 12:30 I woke up and soon after both ends of my body were a firehose of the most disgusting proportions.

14. i got sick on chicken once. i am real wary. i MADE it, lol. i figure

the marinating it and cooking well, really well. went into quesodillas.

i am sorry you are sick. it is the worst.
