      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.

      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.

      Please avoid eating raw chicken, alright?

          Here’s the wild thing. Back in my lab days we used to do a practical with first years that shows how easily bacteria can become aerosolised when washing things.

          It isn’t just your sink that needs nuking.

      … And what is washing you chicken going to do to prevent it? Just cook it through and you won’t ever get salmonella.
