What is this on my chicken?!

Bought a whole chicken from Tesco yesterday. It's well in date. When I took it out the packet, one end of the chicken (the head end!) was covered in these grainy like dots on the skin. I've bought chicken many times before and never had anything that looks like this. And no, I hadn't seasoned it 😂. And no, I'm not going to eat it! I've already complained to Tesco who also said they don't know either and not to eat it.

My first thought was some sort of seasoning but 🧐 😂

If it is seasoning it's not meant to be there! I know you can get chickens already seasoned with herbs and spices but this wasn't one of those! And it was only at one end of the chicken...looks like it was dropped on the floor or something 😬

I’m struggling today with nausea and feeling faint. I’m now cross with myself that I opened your thread! It’s not your fault, OP, but I’d assumed this was something about your (live) pet chicken.

@ViaRia01 I'm sorry! I've definitely gone off chicken for a while 🤢
