Hi,
I don't know where this has come from, but I'm becoming obsessive about food poisoning and chicken. I had chicken yesterday and immediately felt panicked afterwards because my friend said she had been ill after having chicken at this particular restaurant. It only occuref to me after I'd eaten it. I worried about it all the rest of the day (went for lunch there).
Tonight for dinner I had agreed to make homemade kievs for my family. Why I agreed to this after my chicken freakout yesterday I do not know. I prepared the raw chicken carefully as I always do and washed everything thoroughly. But I am finding myself increasingly worried that I've given us poisoning. The chicken was cooked, Infact it was a little overcooked, but I'm still worried. I'm also concerned about where this thinking is going. I don't want to add contamination issues to the list of anxieties. I sprayed all the taps and benches with the kitchen cleaner and wiped all the benches, but I keep thinking 'did you do it properly'. And even though I would consider the chicken to be a bit dry, I'm still thinking we might get poisoned from the juices that were in the casserole dish, even though it was all cooked for about 40 mins. These were chicken breasts. I even cut into the spare breast to make sure it all looked white and it did, but I'm still in an anxious state.
Does it sound as though I cooked it ok? I'm sorry, I know this sounds pathetic compared to other posts, including mine! But it's worrying me at the moment.
Any advice appreciated xx
