The RNA in virii [sic] (ha!) tend to denature when heated (they unwind -- ever wonder why the clear eggwhites turn white when you cook 'em?). So if the eggs or chicken are well cooked, the virus should be neutralized. An legitimate issue might be cooking contaminated foodstuff, but not properly cleaning things the contaminated foodstuff touched (including your hands).
In the end, it's all about risk and how much of it you are comfortable with. More people are killed by accidents in BKK in a day than have died so far from this. I'd be more worried crossing Suk (seriously). I was in Shanghai and Thailand towards the end of the SARS thing and lived. When your number's up, it's up. The media doesn't do a good job of assessing and reporting relative risk -- that doesn't sell newspapers and TV.
