What Are These Weird Green Spots on my Chicken?

Question

I just bought three chicken breasts from my local butcher which has always been great. They looked fine, smelled fine, blah blah blah. I marinated them in Garlic, Salt, and Lemon Juice for three hours, then set them on a broiling pan to bake/broil. When I took them out to test, these weird green spots were all over the tops and sides. They are roundish and raised and almost a teal color. A few fell off when I poked them with a fork. The undersides of the chicken look kind of frozen and uncooked, but they were never frozen and baked for the full time I've always cooked chicken (well done). It is the ugliest chicken ever, and I'm going to take them back to the butcher but I wanted to know if anyone has seen this before? Is it some kind of hideous bacteria? Should I be concerned?

Answer 1

It is mold, they are old, get your money back.

Answer 2

I've never heard of that before. Maybe it's bird flu or some kind of nuclear radiation. I wouldn't eat it. It sounds really gross. It defineately has something wrong with it, maybe the butcher will know what it is. Hope you get your money back.

Answer 3

Ugh. You've got mold. That butcher sold you bad chicken. Ask for your money back.
But don't worry, its nothing serious or contagious.

Answer 4

MOLD and/or Fungus

they were pre-frozen, go complain

always buy organic

Answer 5

I think it's the garlic. Lately at my restaurant I've noticed my garlic getting blue spots on it when it's cooked.

If any one has feedback on this subject I would like to hear it

Thanks
