Washing Chicken
You’ve heard of salmonella, right? This dangerous bacterium can be found in raw chicken. So you might be thinking that washing raw chicken will help get rid of it, right?
No, you’ll achieve the exact opposite. Not only will you fail to remove salmonella from your chicken, but you’ll also help spread it all over your sink and counter. Handle the meat without fear, then wash your hands with warm soapy water and you’ll be good to go. No need for over-the-top “precautions” that experts actually say are more handful than good.
