Could Eating Raw Chicken Accidentally Affect Health Adversely?
I potentially ate some raw chicken for lunch. it was not a big piece of chicken, and i only about about half of it by the time i realized the middle was not cooked. i spoke to the cafeteria workers and they said the chicken was frozen before-hand and went straight from the freezer to the deep fryer. the part that was uncooked, was very raw, but it was also the thickest part of the chicken, so, like I said, I'm not 100% sure i actually injested any raw chicken. Should I be worried?

welcome to hcm,
don't worry nothing will happen by eating a raw chicken.
from your conversation i think you have eaten partially cooked chicken pieces.
i would like you to remember that during the period of evolution that is when fire has not been discovered people ate uncooked meat and chicken .nothing happened to them. and they were stronger also.
if you are feeling ok and if you do not have any feeling of nausea or vomiting sensation nothing will happen. and it will not cause any adverse health effects.
hope this explains
with regards
