Having given myself food poisoning, I would definitely not eat that or try to finish cooking it. And get yourself an instant read thermometer. Here's an inexpensive one that works very well. https://www.thermoworks.com/thermopop/

Oh! I concur.
Food poisoning is NOT FUN. Unless you want Sam and Ella coming to visit... Ditch it!!!

What did you do then with the chicken - recook, put it in fridge, other?
What questions, if any, do you still have about what to do with it?
Have a look at this answer from USDA on similar situations.
