I think I just ate undercooked chicken?

Question

it was leftovers from dinner last night... this is where it gets even scarier I have been toting it around with me all day in my lunch box on top of an ice pack and it spent sometime today in the fridge. One of our clients at work bought us lunch so I figured I'd save my BBQ'd chicken drumsticks for dinner...I nuked them for about 2 minutes and dug in after eating most of the leg I looked down and noticed it was pretty pinkish and slimy looking....IM REALLY SCARED!!!!! Am I going to be ok???

Answer 1

well if it was left over then nuked i would say you're probably ok. the thing about drumsticks is sometimes the meat near the bone stays a pinkish color even when it's fully cooked. i have eaten it like that lots of times and never had a problem.

Answer 2

Chicken leg meat is usually how you describe it to be. It was most likely cooked, and if it wasn't you still should be okay. I've accidentally ate partially uncooked chicken before too, and didn't get sick because I didn't eat that much.

Answer 3

nuked 2 mins... you will live to face another day of work.

if you were sick you would not be able to even write this question.

Answer 4

yes. the worst thing that will happen is that you will have your immune system weakened and you'll be more susceptible to sickness.
