Better wash them:
Eating chickens is the most common source of Salmonella poisoning. A 2014 issue of Consumer Reports published that 97 percent of chicken breasts found in retail stores were contaminated with bacteria that could make people sick, and 38 percent of the Salmonella found was resistant to multiple antibiotics. And, according to a national retail-meat survey by the Food and Drug Administration, about 90 percent of retail chicken showed evidence of contamination with fecal matter.
Better not wash them:
My source is the CD Fucking C.
Hostile response aside, seriously: cooking chicken kills the bacteria. Trying to wash it just splatters disease around your kitchen.
Hear me out, fill bowl with water. Place chicken in bowl. Swirl a bit. Wash chicken. Dump water. No splashy splashy.
If only there was a better way to kill bacteria in food than just washing it.
Fucking lol!
Idk guys. I’m not scrubbing my chicken with bleach to kill bacteria. I just want to rinse off the shit from the factory. “Oh but they wash it!” I don’t believe they care enough to do it well. Whatever regulation is set forth by the CDC is kind of irrelevant if there is little enforcement.
Are you eating it raw???
TIL American’s don’t cook their chicken
No. You don’t wash chicken. Take a paper towel and pat it down, and that’s it. Washing the chicken one way to contaminate your sink, cooking area, and other foods with salmonella. It’s super important to properly cook your chicken to kill any bacteria.
If you cook the chicken properly, salmonella isn’t a concern.
If it smells bad it’s in the bin that you should be sending it, not in your sink for a wash.
Or ideally, return it to the store if it’s within the expected expiration time, they’ll want to track it to people don’t get sick.
Only meat I routinely wash is porkchops. Slimiest stuff on the market
As across the pond dweller, I am reading this and going “u wot m8?”
Does OP work in a mostly back workplace by chance?
Anon has never had salmonellosis, and it shows painfully.
There’s not much (but there are things) that quite compare to vomiting so hard and for so long that you’re seriously worried you might suffocate. Or that you’re equally worried your next retch will make you sprain your back.
The gamma ray laser stream of piss leaving my asshole was a cosmic event that went completely undetected by humanity, something that should have set off air raid sirens across the globe.
I’ll damn fucking make sure I wash the raw chicken I cook, and make sure the thickest part of the cut reaches 165° F, because someone didn’t cook the chicken I ate well enough to destroy the salmonella, and it nearly killed me.
What soap do you use to wash your chicken?
Washing the chicken doesn’t fix the problem you’re concerned with though. If it did you could wash the chicken and then just eat it raw.
The bacteria is inside the chicken, potentially, where you can’t possibly remove it by washing. That’s why you have to cook it.
Cooking kills the bacteria, and if you have to cook it then the only thing washing will do is spread any surface bacteria around to other surfaces and gives you wet chicken.
Salmonella can be spread by eating undercooked or raw chicken. Anon hasn’t had it because he cooks it properly.
Washing chicken seems to be a very American thing to do? Here in the Netherlands I’ve never seen or heard someone do it. We just cook our chicken properly.
I’m American and have never washed chicken nor heard of anyone doing that. What a crazy thing to do.
I know not a single American that does this.
I’ve only heard of it from elsewhere.
You won’t prevent salmonella infections by washing chicken, you’ll even increase the risks via cross contamination.
Get a thermometer and cook your chicken properly.
Fucking hell.
Fucking hell.
Gordon Ramsey, is that you?
Please avoid eating raw chicken, alright?
Also avoid using your sink after washing the chicken before you sanitized it with boiling water.
… And what is washing you chicken going to do to prevent it? Just cook it through and you won’t ever get salmonella.
Washing chicken really doesn’t help. It actually increases your chances of poisoning.
And here I am, just properly cooking my chicken like some kind of savage…
Washing is to remove salmonella…wtf is wrong with you ppl???
The /s is missing and knowing about chloride chicken in the US I am afraid to ask.
If the salmonella is on the outside, shouldn’t you cook the outside of the chicken?
Since you can kill the salmonella in eggs without cooking the egg (as in pasturised egg), then the temperature that kills salmonella seems low enough that any form of cooking will kill whatever is on the outside of the chicken.

Chinese youtube chef recommends washing chicken to reduce the albumin levels and help tenderize, never tested it personally and I definitely don’t wash meat
