Are shop bought chicken kievs usually pre-cooked or have I poisoned myself?

[AreolaGrande]

On my own for tea, grabbed a pack of kievs from Spar. Packaging says cook for 22-25 mins. They were in for 30 as I lost track watching Downton 😳. They were bubbling when I took them out.

The texture of the one I had was odd. Rubbery and a wee bit too soft especially on the bottom side of the kiev. Meat was white. We usually buy the posh M+S ones on the bone so not sure if these spar ones were just a bit shit in comparison and that's why the texture was off?

Have dug the packaging out of the recycling but it does not state anywhere whether they were raw chicken or pre-cooked and now I'm convinced I'll wake in the night with food poisoning (caught salmonella on holiday earlier this year and do NOT want to relive).

Please reassure me 🤢

Just low quality, that's all.

Just poor quality meat I think - 30 mins is fine.

Sounds like a regular, low quality chicken Kiev to me.

They're not pre-cooked, but they don't need to be. 30 minutes will cook chicken unless you've used a very weirdly low temp.

Chicken meat is supposed to be white when cooked...

Are you worried you'll get salmonella because a few of the bottom breadcrumbs were soggy??

Yeah they are usually pre cooked. Rare that something like that would use raw chicken. You're just heating it up.

You've cooked them for longer than instructions. You'd only get food poisoning if you undercooked.

Feel a bit better from the responses. Thanks.

They were cooked at the correct gas mark and my oven runs high. I think they were just a bit shit rather than raw.

Is it maybe rubbery because it's reconstituted? And a bit overcooked? As long as you followed the cooking instructions it should be fine.
