Undercooked chicken is just asking for trouble or worse, and I suspect
would not be pleasant to eat.  As an alternative, consider chicken cooked
sous vide, basically vacuum-packed and held at a very steady temperature
near 140F for a day or two.  The best octopus and calamari I've had
were cooked sous vide (it's nice to live near Napa Valley).

Cheers,
