Bloody chicken wings?!


Question: Bloody chicken wings?
Just a couple hours ago an all you can eat place gave me chicken wings that had bits of red around the bone and were clearly bloody (veins or not couldn't tell) out of the 4 on the plate, 3 of them had this, after finishing a normal one and biting into one that looked very red around bone i stopped eating them, it even dripped a couple of slightly red "juicy" drops on the plate. Is this dangerous?... Could I possibly get food poisoning from this?

It is possible that you could get ill.

I hope after the first one to notice you only pulled apart the others on the plate, you are not very clear how many you ate or how much you just bite into.

I would have complained, and if you are now home it is now far to late if they wish to doubt you.
It should have been done at the time at the table.



It sounds like the wings were undercooked and if there was a substantial amount of the wrong bacteria cultures growing in the meat then, yes, there would be a risk of toxins entering your system.

However... bacteria growing on the meat close to the bone is far less common than bacteria growing on the surface of the meat or skin since contaminants are commonly transferred to surface areas of food because of being handled by dirty utensils or hands. Since surface dwelling bacteria are cooked off rapidly and it sounds like your wings were just a little undercooked I'd say you're likely going to be just fine.

If you were really a zombie you'd prefer them raw.



You probably won't get sick but you should call the chix place and let them know the chix wasn't completely done and ask for a refund, rain check or something.
