I would definitely eat it, I have done this before as an oversight

Enjoy your chicken

I think just to soak any excess juices in the packaging, but don't know for definite

the absorbent paper under a pre packed chicken is there to absorb the excess water that has been pumped into it or you would end up with a puddle in the bottom of your chicken bag!
