The chicken itself didn't explode. The bag full of juices and nastiness swelled and burst.

It is apparent that you have been spending too much time with Stanley.

From my repair days, I would note that if those juices got down through the ventilation holes and onto the circuit board, it's time for a new amplifier.
There is no truth anymore. Only assertions. The internet world has no interest in truth, only vindication for preconceived assumptions.

There's an echo in here
Chasing Ernie's post count, one useless post at a time.

You got the wrong guy

From my repair days, I would note that if those juices got down through the
ventilation holes and onto the circuit board, it's time for a new amplifier.

Client opted to rip out and rebuild cabinet. Receiver and MRF will get replaced. Everything else survived.

Reminds me of my TV repair days; 35 years ago:

Went to a house with a dead TV. Opened back and found fried rat in high voltage cage. Removed rat & replaced the Horiz output tube to fix. Women of house stepped out of living room while I made repairs. When she came back TV was working. She asked what was wrong. So I put the blown tube on top of TV and tell her this is what is bad & left her the opportunity to ask the most common customer question which is: "What cause it?" At this point I place the burnt rat on top of the TV & tell her "this did!"

Customer was horrified & really did not know what to say. Too embarrassed to admit their was a rat in her house. So I wrote bill with detailed description of repair which said: "traced problem to blown Horz output tube which was caused by rat shorting it to ground. Removed rat & replaced tube".

Well, not the name of a group, but a strange song by Cream from, I believe, 1967: Pressed Rat & Warthog.

I don't know what's worse: that the chicken juice exploded, or that I instantly thought of that song, by name, when I read chuch's post.
A good answer is easier with a clear question giving the make and model of everything.

Might be better than the time a client slow cooked an MX900. Scooped it up with a loaf of bread and put it right in the oven.
