In this age of misinformation, reasonably, people have a hard time finding the humor in false portrayals anymore. You've got so much fake and unauthentic material now that people have gotten a bit jaded I think.
You can buy something like that in Japan. So some people in the world do this regularly. But the chickens they use for it are raised in a clean environment, so they unlikely have salmonella.
That being said, if you raise your own chickens, you could cook medium rare. I've had chicken that was done to medium and medium rare, and it isn't as weird as you'd think.
That being said, it isn't my preferred thing, and my chickens are pets lol.
I've eaten it. I don't care for the texture. Never made me sick. I've had chicken with just the outside seared a few times here and been fine, but never order it.
