This was covered earlier. Chicken stock and chicken soup are cooked thoroughly, as are stir-fries and kebabs. That is the difference. No one is taking issue with cooked chicken dishes. The corn was soaked in the water that the *raw* chicken had been thawed in.

How can the grill cook chicken and kebabs thoroughly but not the corn? I don't see anywhere that OP said the corn wasn't thoroughly cooked. It really wouldn't take long at all on a very hot grill for the heat to kill anything on the corn. The point is that other things touch raw chicken and yet are eaten.

+1. I would not have thrown out the corn.

He was too laid back about it and of course I was the "nag". He changed his tune when his good friend's child was in the hospital with salmonella poisoning and almost died. (got it at his own house)

Wow. Did the child fully recover?
