DON’T WASH THE CHICKEN
Washing raw chicken before cooking, can increase the risk of food poisoning from campylobacter and salmonella.
According to USDA the only way to eliminate bacteria is cooking chicken to an internal temperature of 165°F.
At this point the juices will run clear and the meat will be entirely opaque, with no bits of translucent pink.
