Raw Chicken or Just the Way they are raised?http://www.roadfood.com/Forums/(c) Roadfood.com Discussion Board30RE: Raw Chicken or Just the Way they are raised? ( nvb) When I was doing beer can chicken in the restaurant I had several folks send it back because they thought it was undercooked. They didn't understand that chicken could be juicy and pink while still being done. http://www.roadfood.com/Forums/fb.ashx?m=160450Tue, 20 Sep 2005 16:09:34 GMTRE: Raw Chicken or Just the Way they are raised? (Scorereader) I don't know fieldthistle, I'm inclined to agree with your first instinct that the Chicken isn't fully cooked. <br> <br> If there is pink in the meat as a result from a blood droplet, that's one thing, but if your meat is pink and doesn't flake, or is difficult to remove off the bone, it isn't fully cooked. <br> http://www.roadfood.com/Forums/fb.ashx?m=160449Tue, 20 Sep 2005 11:35:16 GMTRE: Raw Chicken or Just the Way they are raised? (emsmom) We had an outbreak of salmonella (sp) here at our City Club among a group of 5th graders who were taking a manners class. It has been traced to the chicken that the cook grilled about 75% done on the grill and then put into the oven on a low temp. to finish cooking. He let the chicken set out for a few minutes while he cooked the vegetables to go with it . http://www.roadfood.com/Forums/fb.ashx?m=160448Tue, 20 Sep 2005 08:54:10 GMTRE: Raw Chicken or Just the Way they are raised? (MilwFoodlovers) I was told that if you see what looks like a blood drop near the joints it means that that chicken has been frozen. A fresh chicken will never have that. http://www.roadfood.com/Forums/fb.ashx?m=160447Tue, 20 Sep 2005 07:21:44 GMTRaw Chicken or Just the Way they are raised? (Fieldthistle) Hello All, <br> I wonder if it is just me or has anyone else come upon this? I have ordered chicken at a number of places, some fast food and some just local restaurants, and found that the chicken seems a tad too pink in the middle. Not bloody, but too pink for my taste. After sending it back and getting back pretty much the same looking pinkness, I have been informed that it is the way the poultry industry is harvesting younger birds. I live in an area that raises and processes turkeys, and have not found a similiar problems with those birds. Has anyone else noticed the change in the color of chicken meat, and also there seems to be much more fat on the birds? <br> Take Care, <br> Fieldthistle http://www.roadfood.com/Forums/fb.ashx?m=160446Tue, 20 Sep 2005 07:01:07 GMT
