Are those red spots on the chicken ok? or does it mean chicken has got some bacteria or it is not fresh?

    Judging from the picture alone, I'd say this is perfectly fine. Do you have additional information that might be worrying? – BaffledCook Dec 02 '14 at 17:08

    It looks like blood spots to me (almost a bruise), not bacteria. – Erica Dec 02 '14 at 17:30
  • Did you wash the chicken before taking a picture? Maybe it is just a blood, washing it a little will remove that one. Don't thoroughly wash it as it may remove the chicken flavor. – Cary Bondoc Dec 03 '14 at 02:31

    Please **PLEASE** don't wash your chicken. You're more likely to get sick from washing chicken than you would from eating 7 day old left overs.. https://www.google.co.uk/webhp?sourceid=chrome-instant&ion=1&espv=2&ie=UTF-8#q=dont+wash+chicken – Doug Dec 03 '14 at 08:44

    Oh and definitely just a bit of blood. It'll be fine once cooked. – Doug Dec 03 '14 at 08:58

They are little blood spots, perfectly safe to eat but often a sign of cheap and/or poor welfare birds. As long as you cook it properly (take it to at least 140f) its fine to eat.
