How fast does food poisoning occur after eating not fully cooked chicken?
4 to 24 hours. Your chances of getting food poisoning – assuming that the chicken was properly handled and mostly cooked but still a little raw in the center – is very low. The media has played up the fear about food poisoning, but many people just freak without knowing all of the facts. In other words, I’m politely suggesting that you’re over-reacting. The only food poisoning I’ve ever gotten was from eating hamburger, which is the main cause of most of the food poisoning cases, and I felt it at about the 4 hour mark.
