This is a popular Japanese dish called torisashi, or raw chicken sashimi.

Interesting, never heard of this before, thanks...Found this tidbit of information too...

Many parts of the chicken are used for torisashi - hearts, gizzards, breasts, thighs, and liver. The chickens are slaughtered in a specific way and immediately refrigerated so that no salmonella-causing bacteria can appear on the meat.

I don't recommend eating it, even if it has been prepared 'properly'. My brother lived in Japan for several years and had the dish without ill effect. I was offered it but refused when I went there.

I did try raw horse meat sashimi. It wasn't particularly great. Horse is generally considered to be inferior meat in this country and is almost never consumed intentionally any more. I have to qualify that remark with intentionally because of the great European horse meat scandal of a few years ago:

Also, to compare the pictured chicken above to the doneness of steak, it is not medium rare, but blue.
