Unwashed Chicken is totally safe if you do this one amazing trick.
Cook it properly.
If you don’t know how to do that by sight or touch then buy yourself a instant read thermometer.
Yes people do it.
No they shouldn’t.
Maybe we all should once Trump disbands the USDA.
I used to not until
primepeople who worked at the processing plant informed me of what goes on. Wash it, it’s disgusting. Also clean off the gross white stuff and as much fat as you can. I leave the skin though. @Fat is fine, the body needs fat.
Sure, the skin has enough fat.
Not washing your chicken with vinegar gives it a dirty taste. Don’t @ me.
Bro just discovered marinade, thinks it’s “washing”. My steaks taste better if I “wash” them with lemon juice
You should absolutely not wash your chicken, it is unnecessary and can splash bacteria around. Cook it to 165 F and youre 100% safe from bacteria.
You want 150f for 3 min for white meat. 165 is unnecessary unless you flash cook it, and then put it in the fridge. 165 w8ll be tough and dry. https://blog.thermoworks.com/chicken-internal-temps-everything-you-need-to-know/
Dark meat will be at like 170 when it cooks for flavor so you don’t need to worry if it is cooked through it will be safe.
For the lazy:
- you want 65°C for three minutes
- 75°C is unnecessary
- dark meat will be at like 77°C
