After basting the chicken she put the same leftover sauce on the table!

I've got one from last weekend. I provided the recipe for Mojo marinade,...
...which is a family favorite, to some friends. They are not cooks, but the Dad will grill if he has to.
He was cooking the chicken on the grill when he picked up the ziplock bag that was now empty of chicken, but held the used marinade and started to drizzle it over the chicken. He then proceeded to start taking the chicken off the grill and put it on a platter.
I had to stop him and let him know he had to bring all that drizzled marinade up to temp or he might make someone sick. He hadn't thought of that.
I told him that if he wanted to drizzle, he would be safer making a double batch of marinade and setting half aside for that purpose, never having touched raw chicken. Or, he could reserve a small amount from the original batch BEFORE he put the raw chicken in it. Either way.
Yowza!

I added no extra sauce and quietly told DH not to either. Don't know if anyone became ill.

I too did the same thing years ago and never, EVER got sick but now that poultry juice is worse for
you than nuclear waste, I'm careful to avoid cross contamination and will boil a marinade for at least 2 minutes if I plan to use it as a sauce.
How did it all go so terribly, horribly wrong?

I've served beef marinade as a dipping sauce (yikes, I know), but I boil it for 10 minutes first

Me too. This friend would probably not go through the trouble to boil it.

I remember going to the mall as a teenager in the '70's and getting a Strawberry Julius with...
...two raw eggs. I don't remember if they were on the menu (I think they were, as an "add in"). I'd do it to gross out my girlfriend, and I actually liked the thicker consistency of the drink once the eggs were added.
I'm still alive.

I think it is important to note that these errors create a POTENTIAL risk.....
there have to be other factors in place to actually produce a hazard. You open the door for a pathogen, whether there is a pathogen ready to walk in.
That's why we can get overconfident. The fact that sloppy techniques don't result in illness this time doesn't mean they won't eventually make someone ill.
