Dh has just done it on the bbq and thinks it’s fine and i’m too fussy, I’m not but admittedly the only thing i’m ever cautious/fussy over is meat being cooked enough, I tend to really overcook mine

I can’t eat this 😬

No image so sorry, can't comment. But yes, better to er on the side of caution with chicken.

Cant see anything but the internal temp at the thickest part (leg) should be at least 73 degrees. I never bbq chickens from raw. I oven cook then crisp up the skin on the bbq.

Just microwave your bit for a minute or so.

Has he got a thermometer probe to check the internal temperature? I am much more confident with my cooking now I have one.

Yes

Is your husband trying to bump you off because that is quite obviously completely undercooked 😬

WhenYouSayNothingAtAll · 20/08/2025 15:45

Way too shiny to be even in the vicinity of cooked.Grin

Nevereatcardboard · 20/08/2025 15:45

I wouldn’t risk it as it doesn’t look fully cooked.

Well I had a couple of pieces that looked more well done and got rid of the rest

Oh dear. I imagine your bathroom is going to be busy as fuck in the next 24 hours 😂

Get a meat thermometer if you are going to bbq chicken. Won't help today obviously.

doodleschnoodle · 20/08/2025 15:53

Invest in a meat thermometer.

Brainworm · 20/08/2025 15:57

I read a report a few months ago suggesting that in the UK around 10% of chicken is infected with salmonella and campylobacter, so you could be ok. Time will tell!

MissMoneyFairy · 20/08/2025 15:57

It looks almost raw, was it chewy

Not really funny is it though

That looks raw. Not at all cooked. Cooked chicken is white and not pink

I hope you've not eaten it or given to young/elderly as they could be very ill.

No but surely you've eaten chicken before and know the texture when its cooked
