Is this chicken safe to eat?

So I was cutting this chicken breast and everything, and then I noticed that it has a bunch of little holes in it. Like, they're just tiny cuts that I didn't notice until I kind of bent it a little and they showed up clearly. I think I heard somewhere once that animals can get some kind of disease that causes lesions in their skin or something.
So my question is, is it safe to eat? Should I throw it out?
I think it's been sitting out at about room temperature for maybe 3 or so hours (defrosting).

Ever hear of Salmonella, tube?
That said, it doesn't sound like you have anything to worry about.
Unless the holes are black and pussy or something.
Just make sure the chicken is cooked all the way through and don't reuse the cutting board for anything else without washing it thoroughly.

Salmonella is for pussies. A real man cooks his chicken like a steak. 1 minute each side, still pink in the middle.
The USDA is for pussies.
whatever man, make sure you don't get chicken juice all over your flowery dress.

Also more chicken facts... very good chicken safety resource:

That it does.
But even if you cook it through properly, if you're messy, you can recontaminate the meat, your hands, or any food you prepare on the same cutting board.
In fact, unless the meat was contaminated with something really rare and nasty, you pretty much don't have to worry about food poisoning as long as you prepare, cook, and clean up properly.
In this case it's not likely.

I'm sorry where do you live again? Not two months ago there were thousands of salmonella cases all over the country thanks to some rank peanut butter. I know the news is freedom-hippie-liberal-politics-hogwash but damn.
Now my question is what those chickens were doing with that peanut butter. It aint natural.

And "rare" is not "non-existent." Goddamn. Your chance of having gotten salmonella from that breakout is literally one in a million.
Even if you don't get salmonella, e. coli poisoning is still a likely hood, and that can contaminate meat from any number of sources.
Also, keep in mind that stomach aches and food sickness go unreported most of the time.
Even if it's bad, most people don't go to the hospital or complain about a bad case of diarrhea.

CUZ THERE'S SOMETHING IN THE MIDDLE AND IT'S GIVING ME A RASH
CT you fucking kill me.
on a side note....
please cook your chicken all the way through.
you're wrong
This is so far from being correct that I'm going to tell you right now not to post in H/A again unless you're certain you know what you're talking about.
CUZ THERE'S SOMETHING IN THE MIDDLE AND IT'S GIVING ME A RASH
Just to try it out once in my life.
Eat happily, knowing that there's poor sods out there doing the same g
d repetitive and boring laboratory tests day in and day out to make sure your pork chop won't kill you.
The instant I got out, my stomach felt like it was twisting and I couldn't get off the loo, had to head home in less than an hour and lay down.
Couldn't figure if it was the buffet or the fish and chips, I didn't think food poisoning set in fast enough for it to be the later but after what folks in here have said, I could be wrong.

I thought I had heard that a lot of times when people think they have some "24-hour Flu" it tends to be a mild form of food poisoning.
Although, I heard this on the radio. So it's probably shit.
