Chicken food poisoning, help!

[mintmagnum3]

Do I think I've just eaten some under cooked chicken.
I was cooking a tray of chicken thighs for 45 mins. Took one of and cut it in half, decided to put it in 5 more mins. Took it out and put it on the plate with a couple others and let it cool. Ate it.
Went back to the plate and saw pink fluid coming out of another which was a little pinkish on the middle, hard to tell with thighs! Put it back in for ten mins. Pink had gone.

Absolutely freaking out now about the one I ate. I'm hoping because I opened it up and cut it in half it might be ok but realise this is probably not the case :(

Anyone here had food poisoning from chicken? When should o expect to see signs?
I suffer severely from emetophobia, of which I'm currently receiving therapy for.
Feel like crying :(

I ate it about an hour ago.

Jeezo, you'll be absolutely fine.

I hope so but I have heard horror stories about undercooked chicken!

Chicken thighs should be easily cooked in 45 minutes!

This is what I thought but one definitely had pink fluid coming out. I saw it as it was in a white plate :(

Undercooked chicken doesn’t necessarily mean food poisoning.

I had food poisoning from chicken a few years ago and symptoms came pretty quickly (within the hour after eating). They lasted a good few hours too, unfortunately!

Chicken thigh meat is darker - perhaps you saw the liquid against the darker pink. Anyway, you'll know soon enough, but I'm sorry it's fine.

45 minutes, blimey I think they’d be overcooked if anything.

You'll probably be fine; poisoning from undercooked chicken is a risk, not a guaranteed outcome. I've had campylobacter from chicken twice, both times I felt ill within an hour or two of eating.

Sympathy, emetophobia is awful to live with. Try to distract yourself for a few hours if you can, until you feel like you're in the clear and can relax.

It could be a few hours to a few days.

The likelyhood of the food being uncooked is very slim though

Treat yourself to a meat thermometer. Takes the guess work out of cooking

Thank you for the replies!
The fluid was definitely pink and I honestly was so shocked as I cook chicken a lot and have never undercooked before 🤷🏼‍♀️
I know I may sound as though I'm over reacting... but as a single parent who suffers, almost dabilitatingly so, from emetophobia, I can't control how I react to this... well I'm trying my best!

Campylobacter usually takes days!

Yes I think you can feel symptoms of nausea and chills quite quickly with chicken poisoning. Starting within an hour sometimes.

I'm an emetophobe too and completely sympathise. Honestly, as PP says, treat yourself to a meat thermometer - this is the first time in 12 years that I've consistently not been serving up burnt/dried up food in the hopes we'll avoid food poisoning.

Hopefully you'll be fine! You could take activated charcoal if you're worried?

50 mins on what temperature? I'd be surprised if it wasn't cooked unless very low or maybe in a big tray bake with loads of other stuff and not much air space.

Undercooked chicken has a very distinct texture. Did it feel right when you bit into it?

@sondot it certainly didn't for me! I was 7 months pregnant the second time, so remember it rather vividly. It was confirmed as campylobacter by stool sample testing.

How hot was the oven?

Do you drink? If so, I’m sure I effectively remedied undercooked chicken with a decent helping of red wine not all that long ago. Also remember, it’s not a foregone thing.

It was about 180 in tan assisted. It was on for 45 mins. I honestly thought they were cooked... but I, like I said, the pink fluid.... was absolutely pink!

I'll be getting a thermometer when I get paid!

I feel ok... tummy just bubbly 🥴

I made a soup with raw chicken 2 days ago and I was so tired I only realised after eating a bowl that I hadn't followed the recipe properly as it had cooled half way so I definitely hadn't heated the chicken long enough . So far I haven't come down with food poisoning but it did taste disgusting

Feel your pain with emetophobia - I had food poisoning from a bbq once (suspect FIL !) from chicken and had campylobacter. It didn’t show up for a few days and if reassuring, didn’t involve any vomiting just bad tummy cramps and not being able to get off the loo. Like a previous poster said you’re not guaranteed to get sick of it was undercooked but it sounds like after 45 mins you’d have killed off any bacteria even if a bit pink!

thighs are always a bit tricky anyway because they tend to look more pink/brown than breast meat. I’m sure you’re fine :)

How are you OP?

That so for all the messages and thanks for checking in @Bakedbeansandtoast .

I work up during the night and my tummy was churning.... ALOT.
Thankfully I've been ok today but I am worried about the clampy..... whatever it's called (🙈) which can take a couple days to show! Just hoping I can put it to the back of my mind and forget about it until I'm out of the 2-5 days!

Thanks again.
