Do you wash raw chicken before cooking? STOP and watch this!

Most of us wash raw chicken before cooking because it feels more hygienic. But in reality, washing chicken under running tap water can actually spread bacteria around your kitchen.

Tiny water splashes can carry bacteria like Salmonella and Campylobacter onto nearby utensils, sinks, countertops, or even uncooked vegetables.

The important thing to understand is this: water does not kill these bacteria. Proper cooking does.

In India, chicken may sometimes have visible feathers, blood clots, or small bone fragments. These can simply be trimmed off or wiped with tissue paper. If you still prefer washing it, avoid holding it directly under running tap water.

Instead, wash it gently in a bowl without splashing and clean your hands, sink, and utensils properly afterward.

The goal is to prevent bacterial contamination and cook the chicken thoroughly and safely.
