Best Answer

Chicken and eggs actually have different proteins in them, and it is the egg protein which can trigger an allergic reaction.

People who are allergic to eggs, have an immune system which overreacts to certain proteins which are present in eggs but not in chicken meat. The main trigger is usually a protein in the egg white, but some people also react to the protein in the yolk.
