Is it OK to partially cook chicken?

Chef's answer
No, never brown or partially cook chicken to refrigerate and finish cooking later because any bacteria present would not have been destroyed. It is safe to partially pre-cook or microwave chicken immediately before transferring it to the hot grill to finish cooking.

Season the salmon with your choice of herbs, spices, sauce or glaze. Bake the salmon for eight to 10 minutes per one-inch of thickness for thawed salmon or 12 to 15 minutes per one-inch of thickness for partially thawed salmon. The salmon is done when it is opaque and a knife or fork slides easily into the fish.

Cooking it part way is a really good way to run the risk of making people sick. It is best to fully cook and then re-heat slowly to preserve the tenderness and juices. Also by cooking ahead you can actually cook it up to a week ahead so there is no time conflict what so ever.
