chicken kiev/pink chicken

BillieTheBot

mmm i had a chicken kiev for tea (diet has gone completely out of the window this weekend :rolleyes:) and when i was half way through eating it (i was too busy watching the tv), i noticed that the chicken wasn't fully white. it was kinda pink =/

it was cooked for 5 minutes longer than it should have been and it was hot all the way through.

will i be ok? im worried. as soon as i noticed it, i stopped eating it.

it wasn't pink PINK, it just wasn't white.

Might be a bit dodgy, you might get away with it. You'll soon find out either way :thumb:

I should expect you will be fine, as the chicken is probably pre-cooked anyway.

Also you'd probably have noticed by now.

Former Member

it will be fine.

Former Member

will it have been precooked if it was fresh? the chicken kiev was from the fresh section, not frozen.

im such a worrier!

itwas probably reformed from a darker piece of meat

It should be totally fine. My mum has done that before and she was fine.

Yep. Thigh meat can be very pink, though thoroughly cooked. Have a look next time you cook a whole chicken. Also some breast meat can be dark, if it's been near the bone or blood vessels, after it's cooked.

well, nothing has happened and i ate hours ago so hopefully i'll be ok.

apparently food poisoning can take up to 48 hours to appear though :nervous:

I once tucked into a Lidl kiev after about 25-30mins in the oven...only for it to be half frozen still.

Gutted.

You'll be fine, I was.

I ate half then got to the middle and suddenly it was raw and still fozen! Some was swallowed some spat out but I survived.
