Have i just eaten undercooked chicken....if so will i get ill?? :(?

hiya people!! iv just had a kfc meal. i had 3 crispy strips. while i was eating them i noticed they were very chewy and a bit watery (although it could have been grease). the coating on them was also lighter than normal. i ate 2 before i was put off by their appearence. the meat was white and warm throughout it was just very tough and chewy and watery. do you think maybe its been under cooked??Have i just eaten undercooked chicken....if so will i get ill?? :(?
No you shouldn't get ill. If you look in the back of kfc whilst you're waiting you will notice microwaves. Your chicken might have been microwaved hence them being chewy and tough. As for watery that might be from microwaing too but it would have been grease coming out because the 'crispy' would have gone soft and let out the juice that the 'crispy' was holding in! Hope you get what i'm saying!





Undercooked would have been pink and fleshy.Have i just eaten undercooked chicken....if so will i get ill?? :(?
Hi taytay,


I wouldnt worry as far as i know KFC cook food at the base and the freeze them until they get to the resteraunt and re-cook (heat) them.


I would only worry if it was pink!


When i once got an indian dinner from the local takeaway the chicken was rubbery and little and water but felt fine, i think if anything you might get an upset stomach but if you do start to feel ill go to our GP on phone NHS helpline better still let someone else know so that if something happens then they will know what and where you ate.x
I believe they are!! But don't worry yet, you may get ill and you may not. The term is food poisoning and if that's the case, then you may have to visit the toilet a lot and feel bloated through the day. When that happened to me, I didn't take anything really like medication but probably that wasn't the best idea, but it did last me through the day. (It only lasted a day and I felt better after)
yes sounds undercooked, don't worry too much, you may get a tummy ache at worse. KFC cook to really high temps so its sounds like it slipped thought the net, make a complain as well. If your fit and well a bit of undercooked chicken will hopefully pass through you without trouble,if it was raw then things maybe different x
if u can make urself sick, i ate raw chicken that i brought from the supermarket and it was from the ready to eat section so i thought it was ready cooked as u do, but it was raw as soon as i realised i made myself sick so i wouldnt get ill from it, luckily i wasnt.
If it was white it was cooked through, but it sounds like it wasn't heated up enough. You will probably be ok but if your sick in the next 24 hours at least you know you have food poisoning and if you have you'll feel like c r a p for about 3 days
hmm. if its white and warm throughout, im sure it was cooked thoroughly enough that you wont get sick from it. maybe it was just sitting under the warmer (or whatever KFC uses) a bit too long?
it was fully cooked. even if it hadn't been, the odds of it making you sick are slim, unless you have a weakened immune system
Nah it's ony undercooked if it's pink
Its not harmful to eat undercooked chicken
THERE CHICKEN IS BOILED FIRST. YOU'LL BE ALRIGHT.
calm yourself, your not going to die. If it was not PINK in colour its cooked !
i hope so
you'll be ok
