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 fucking killed me.
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.
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.
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.

Washing chicken really doesn’t help. It actually increases your chances of poisoning.

What soap do you use to wash your chicken?

And here I am, just properly cooking my chicken like some kind of savage…
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.
Gordon Ramsey, is that you?
I really don’t like Gordon, but I’m full on with him in this case. It deserves his “Fucking hell!”
Please avoid eating raw chicken, alright?
Also avoid using your sink after washing the chicken before you sanitized it with boiling water.

It isn’t just your sink that needs nuking.
Also don’t wash your chicken and just cook it properly.
… And what is washing you chicken going to do to prevent it? Just cook it through and you won’t ever get salmonella.

I’m American and have never washed chicken nor heard of anyone doing that. What a crazy thing to do.
Yeah, never washed any meat, just season and properly cook. I always wash veggies and fruits, never meat because it’s pointless.
I know not a single American that does this.
I’ve only heard of it from elsewhere.
