Prepared foods (frozen chicken from Tysons e.g.) will work just as well through the process of cooking meat in stew (3 hrs or so in a boil). It destroys all bacteria. It can't survive. I'm not saying its impossible to have a bad reaction (as mentioned, there are (rarely) minor toxin issues, even from destroyed bacteria), but it is not going to kill you, or really hurt you at all. It is an excellent way to ensure food is safe.
... within reason.
Like I keep saying, if it smells bad, don't eat it.
Prepared foods, not whole chickens, and not those that you get from your local farmers, our raise yourself...
