Pink chicken

[TheWashingMachine]

Yesterday I roasted a chicken to have cold today. The only thing is now I'm carving it, it looks a bit pink, would it be ok to pop it back in the oven and let it cook longer?

Probably not, sounds like a recipe for food poisoning. Is it pink when you carve the breast?

It will look pinkish near the bone and leg meat.

What weight is the chicken, how long did you roast it for and at what temperature?

Sometimes cooked chicken breast can look a bit pink near the bone but it's actually fine.

What you mustn't do is re-cook it, that's a recipe for disaster.

Pink chicken and in cooked chicken look completely different.

No to cooking it again to finish it off.

**un cooked

You can slice off the pink parts and cook them in a frying pan with some olive oil. It'll be fine. Lots of people throughout history have done this. There's no reason to waste food. The only reason not to cook the pink parts is if you left the chicken sitting out all night in a hot kitchen. If it was in the fridge, it's totally fine. If you want, you can put the pink parts into a soup as that will cook for a longer time and will be more likely to kill the germs.

Also, this same thing happened to me a couple months ago. Honestly, it was okay to eat it.

Nope
