For the average American diner, the idea of eating raw chickenwith its seemingly inherent risk of salmonella poisoningis a nightmarish prospect. But for chef Marc Murphy, chicken sashimi is the stuff (Twitter) dreams are made of.
Today, the celebrity chef took to the social media platform to proclaim his love for chicken sashimi, raising questions with other users over whether this mythical food actually existsand, if it does, whether it's actually safe to eat.
Most often referred to as chicken sashimi or chicken tartare, raw chicken is served on many a menu, though you'd be hard-pressed to find it at any ol' neighborhood establishment. By last count, the specialty is offered at only a few select spots in the countryIppuku in Berkeley, California, is perhaps the best known. It's more widely offered in Japan though, especially in hubs such as Osaka, Kyoto, and Tokyo.
But even there, people have been cautioned against taking a bite of undercooked chicken. In July, Japan's Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare warned that food poisoning is a serious risk of eating raw chicken, and asked restaurants to revaluate their preparation practicesrequesting chicken meat be cooked to a 75-degree internal temperature before it's servedin order to make it safer to ingest.

He would make tori wasa and it became one of my favorite dishes. It was simply small slices of the tenderloin, quickly blanched and then dipped in a soy sauce/wasabi mix. That was it. BUT, he knew where to get chickens. And I think back then salmonella was not as much of an issue as later and today.
Now? In America? I would rather eat fugu.

Every kitchen should have one.

I used to work in a lab that had a cobalt-60 irradiation machine but we were admonished never to use it for frivolous things. There was no cheating because every use had to be logged -- on the machine itself, and in the paper log book next to it.
I'd have liked to irradiated my lunch when I got to work so it would keep without refrigeration. The break room refrigerator was scary.
