Chicken is cheap and not worth food poisoning IMO. Is it worth me sitting or standing above the toilet? Thats always my way of reasoning things.

Did it feel cold? If so, light the fire.

This. I can buy 10 lb. bags of leg quarters for $.79 a lb. at Rouses or whole chickens for a little over $1 a lb.

Not worth getting sick over that little money.

It would depend on how cold it was for me.

But when in doubt, throw it out. If you don’t know the answer, the answer is to trash it.

Really? Eat the chicken and move on. You aren't gonna die.

Beg to differ. However, even if you don't die, you will likely at some point in time wish you would if it hits you hard enough.

Puke to the point of dry heaves and beyond. Crap so much you feel like your intestines are going to shoot out. Fever, nausea, the runs-----for a few dollars worth of chicken.


Count me out.

Just make sure you cook it enough, that kills stuff. Don't handle it a bunch and clean well anywhere you put it before the grill.

So, yes, you can die from food poisoning and people do every year. Most of them have autoimmune or kidney issues, pregnant, elderly, or newborn.

If you are a regular person, you likely won’t die.

And I cringe when people say “just cook it, it will kill it”…. That is positively inaccurate.

Once again, harmful bacteria gets on the meat somehow, someway. It takes X amount of bacteria to cause food poisoning. The bacteria can grow on the meat with the right conditions (time and temperature amongst other factors). So if that bacteria has a good environment to grow past X (in sink not refrigerated overnight) you will get sick.

Ok, so now you have bacteria on your meat. You cook it and cooking it kills Y amount. But…If your X amount is greater than your Y amount, cooking will not kill it all. Cooking only kills so much (log growth). That’s 1 way that cooking won’t kill it.

The 2nd way is that some bacteria (botulism) can form spores which cooking will not kill and the spores will make you sick.

So, it’s positively inaccurate to say that cooking will kill it.

Most foodborne Illnesses are not severe and most people write it off as a stomach big. But some can be severe. Most everyone on this board will be fine most of the time, but you never know…

If it was still cold you are fine, otherwise I’d toss it.

Amazing I am still alive after eating gumbo that has sat out all night, or a week in the fridge.

I’m still alive after driving without my seatbelt. But that doesn’t mean driving without a seatbelt is safe all the time.
