How likely is it that I'll get chicken food poisoning?

I was making a chicken egg marinade with my friend who is from India (In Europe with European eggs)

The chicken was put in the oven and he put the excess egg onto a pan and fried it like a flat omelette. I ate it to be polite, one quarter through I put it in the microwave for a minute and a half.

I didn't say anything (I should have) but I was and am very nervous about possibly getting food poisoning from it since it was marinating in chicken. Do you think it's likely or how risky is it?

It was obviously fried of course, like a pancake but still worried. Blush Shock

@KittenVsBox OK this makes me feel better, how hot/how long does he fry it? Would it be crispy or average omelette cooked? That sounds basically like what my friend did except had spices instead of cornflour.

It's just such an unusual combination to me that I have nothing to compare it to.

Set, but not blasted and rubbery.

@KittenVsBox Cool! Where is your DH from btw? Is this dish common in some parts of the world?

Salmonella is killed at 70C. Eggs coagulate fully at 70C. So as long as the omelette was cooked through, you're golden.

@SpoonBlender Thanks! Fingers crossed anyways :) Light a candle for me

Fingers crossed for your health! I was quite taken by the coincidence in temperatures, but then I thought "duh - the salmonella germs are being coagulated/denatured exactly like the egg is, of course!"

Must say I've never heard of this thing with soaking chicken in eggs - seems unlikely to do anything useful other than stick flour/breadcrumb on. Did it affect the chicken dish?

@SpoonBlender Yeah I don't think it did too much for the chicken but I guess I wanted to try a new type of food so gave the chicken a try. (Chicken was nice!) And then basically with the egg, my friend was presenting it like it was very normal, I felt uncomfortable but didn't want to insult him/his culture which is why I ate it.

Really I should probably have said something to the effect of 'In my culture we're really over the top afraid of raw chicken, hope you don't mind'

I think you're being a bit over the top anxious, the egg was cooked so the risk is absolutely minimal
