4 to 24 hours.
Your chances of getting food poisoning - assuming that the chicken was properly handled and mostly cooked but still a little raw in the center - is very low.
The media has played up the fear about food poisoning, but many people just freak without knowing all of the facts.
In other words, I'm politely suggesting that you're over-reacting.
The only food poisoning I've ever gotten was from eating hamburger, which is the main cause of most of the food poisoning cases, and I felt it at about the 4 hour mark.

Food Poisoning From Chicken

Technically there is no such thing as 'Food Poisoning' It's the bacteria. not the food that poisons you. Anyway from personal experience here's my story.
In 1981 I attended an engagement party in a local pub at which there was a buffet meal. Amongst the food was the usual pile of chicken legs and I started to eat one. When I got to the middle it was still frozen. I complained to the people and they said that they had been a few short and just threw some frozen portions in the fat and cooked them.
Next day I started to have a stomach upset and couldn't keep off the toilet. That night (24 hours later) I was in such pain in bed that I was curled up in a ball and, again couldn't keep off the toilet. I went to the doctors and he sent me to a local hospital for tests. I went to a different one next day and they admitted me with severe salmonella and campylobacter poisoning. I was in there for a month, on 16 different tablets a day and off work for six months. I lost three stones in weight and was in severe pain. Eventually I was cured but the poisoning developed into ulcerative colirtis from which I still suffer. I now tale six Asacol tablets a day for life with annual/bi-annual colonoscopy examinations.
Moral: Avoid chicken, prawns and suchlike at buffets.

Salmonella is the name of the bacteria that we've come to associate with illness that we get from eating contaminated chicken. Usually, the onset of symptoms occurs in as little as 6-7 hours, and in some cases (depending on the severity) as long as 3 days after eating the contaminated item.
Symptoms include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea,stomach pain,cramping,fever & chills. Salmonella is treated with antibiotics, and while it can be quite painful, it rarely causes death.

Food poisoning is a common, usually mild, but sometimes deadly illness. Typical symptoms include nausea, vomiting, abdominal cramping, and diarrhea that come on suddenly (within 48 hours) of consuming a contaminated food or drink. Depending on the contaminant, fever and chills, bloody stools, dehydration, and nervous system damage may follow. These symptoms may affect one person or a group of people who ate the same thing (this would be called an outbreak

I've had it twice and both times it was about 5 hours later. I went to the hospital both times after about 6 hours of horrible things happening to me. The doctors gave me some kind of shot in the thigh that stopped the cramping immediately and then they rehydrated me with an IV for 4 hours.
Moral: Cook your own chicken and, remember, if approximately 50% of all chickens have salmenella, then, 50% of all eggs have it too. COOK YOUR EGGS HARD, WELL DONE. No more runny eggs.

depends on your system, but generally in just a few hours. Stomach cramps, nausea, and diarrea usually follow. If you suspect chicken is the culprit, and you seem to get worse after more than 5-6 hours, get to a doctor. Salmonella is nothing to play with.
