I am not really a vegan, but I do eat a lot of fruits and vegetables as a part of my diet. I have to say that there are foods that we can eat raw and there are foods that we need to cook to be edible. If you eat chicken then you need to cook it or you will die or your health will suffer.
You won't necessarily die or get ill. I have a friend who eats raw chicken all the time, keep in mind it's high quality organic chicken, and he keeps it frozen at a certain temperature for 14 days, which he says kills bacteria. He's never been sick. But yeah, I wouldn't recommend it.
Most animal proteins get more digestible
after cooking though, so I see no reason to not just cook your meat to be on the safe side.
Not that many people here will be interested in knowing this, being a vegan/vegetarian forum and all, I just felt like giving my anecdote.
