Tonight I was offered some cold cooked chicken for dinner, and was assured that it had not been marinated or treated with spices. Just plain cooked chicken.

I accepted it gladly, plain cooked chicken is normally safe for me. However when they passed me the plate I realised that it had been cooked in a George Foreman grill, it had that blackened and seared look to it on the outside (note: it was just blackened, not burned so it was hard). I hate the smell of beef that has been cooked in one of these grilles, it almost turns my stomach. And yet I know that people who love meat, love the smell.

I was hungry so I accepted the chicken and some rice, but I carefully cut off all of the seared parts from the meat. I was hoping that my friend would not notice and think that I was ungrateful, but I couldnt help feeling that it would be difficult to digest.

So how do other people feel about blackened and seared chicken? And does anyone know if I am right in assuming that the seared parts would be more difficult for my gut to deal with?
 
I think with this it is all on an individual basis bc for me, it would not affect me. But maybe after a flare it would. Food also affects me differently during different phases of my crohns (flare, healing from a flare/attack, remission...)
