Eating slimy chicken?!
So, a few times the raw chicken I'm cooking has a sliminess feel to it, and I read that that's a sign of rottenness!. It doesn't smell any worse than chicken usually does, and there's no color change!. I've cooked and we've eaten it before like that, and nothing happened, but I suddenly got worried about the dinner tonight that its in the crock pot!. There's seasoning and a sauce and everything, so I'm really just wondering if I need to be concerned!? I'll stop using it form now on if there is a sliminess to it, I just didn't know!.
I mean, it should be ok since we've eaten it before, right!?Www@FoodAQ@Com

I've found the best test for chicken is the smell test!. Chicken smells horrible when it starts to turn!. If it's slimy, always wash it before you use it- then smell it!. It shouldn't have much of a smell when it's raw!. Be very very careful with chicken!. I've had some really bad experiences with bad chicken!. My Dad used to call it "the green apple dirties"
