If a wheat kernel is found in cooked chicken before Pesach, what is its status, and does reheating on Pesach change it?
Synopsis
The Mechaber rules that wheat found in chicken before Pesach is permitted if less than 1:60. However, if one reheats the chicken on Pesach while the wheat is still inside, the wheat gives renewed taste and the chicken is forbidden in any amount. The Rema permits reheating in a kli sheni, though some are strict if it reaches yad soledet bo.
