cooking chicken - pink?

Question

my mum made chichen last night.

The outside was white, but the inside was a little pink.

Was this ok to eat?

Answer 1

No one's gonna die.

Best if chicken is thoroughly cooked of course, with no pink, but a little pink is just fine and should cause no worries (as long as the chicken was fresh and rinsed off before cooking).

Answer 2

if the chicken had a very slight pink look to it near the bone, it is ok to eat.

if the chicken was an obvious pink then it is poisonous to eat and can cause you a major stomach upset and food poisoning.

chicken is easily cook by pushing a knife into it to the deepest bone and checking the color of the juice that runs out....it should be clear.

if you are unsure, simply pop it into the microwave until the meat starts to dry....if there is blood in it when it stops cooking, it will stain the meat and so won't go away after microwaving.

if she is unsure when to take a chicken out, always use a temperature probe.

hope this helps.

Answer 3

Well not really, always chicken must be well cooked, if was a little pink as you say maybe ok, If was more then little pink not good!!

Answer 4

Chicken is one meat that should definitely not be pink. I'm guessing it was bone in chicken?

Cook it at least an hour an 15 minutes, when baking in the oven.

Answer 5

you gotta get the chicken right outta the oven or where-ever and poke it with a knife, if the juices from the chicken run CLEAR!!! like broth your OK, if they run bloody you may be doomed!

Answer 6

No need to cook it longer
