"So don't worry about consuming chicken and its products, because it is not transmitted through consumption. What you need to worry about is the secretions/liquids/mucus or dirt from the chicken that sticks to poultry products. Because the Avian Influenza Virus dies when heated at a temperature of 80 degrees Celsius for a minimum 2-10 minutes. As long as poultry products are perfectly cooked, there's no need to worry about infection. Check with your doctor, if any family member has a fever or flu symptoms, after contact with poultry," he explained.
