Eating Raw Chicken Is Becoming More And More Popular
Travel vlogger Johnny Kyunghwo shared a daring food venture on TikTok, dining on chicken sashimi in South Korea, sparking curiosity and worry.
His journey in Haenam, South Korea, showcased local free-range chicken, served raw as chicken sashimi, similar to traditional sashimi but briefly seared for safety.
Johnny surprised viewers by admitting the chicken sashimi was “better than expected,” despite concerns about raw chicken consumption.
However, the Food Standards Agency (FSA) warns against eating raw chicken due to potential health hazards like food poisoning from pathogens like campylobacter and salmonella.
Johnny’s review highlighted unexpected flavors, noting it didn’t taste like chicken but had sesame oil and seed flavors. The texture resembled raw fish.
Despite Johnny’s positive rating and recommendation, comments expressed doubts about safety and warned against trying chicken sashimi at home.
Johnny’s experience raises cultural and safety questions. While intriguing, caution should prevail due to the health risks associated with consuming raw chicken.
