This Reason Can not Wash Chicken Before Cooking

There are questions that often infest the mothers who will cook chicken meat in the kitchen. They wondered should the chicken be washed before cooking ?.

Most people who clean the chicken think they are removing germs by washing them. It could be that their assumption is true that raw chicken is often full of bacteria, but washing it with water has no effect whatsoever.

According to the UK National Health Service, washing chicken really worsens the problem. Flowing and splashing water can spread bacteria around sinks, tables, and even clothes.

The USDA says the only sure way to get rid of bacteria is to boil the chicken with the right temperature. This rule also applies to other types of meat and fish. Quoted from Fox News, Wednesday (25/7), the minimum temperature to cook the chicken must be 165 degrees Fahrenheit temperature or 73 degrees Celsius.

Food researcher Drexel University, Jennifer Quinlan advised not to wash the chicken. You mothers can try just one wash to see the difference. If you still feel dirty, try cleaning the chicken with paper towels.

If you still decide to continue the habit of washing the chicken, you should clean properly the liquid or splash surface to prevent cross contamination. You should also wash your hands thoroughly after touching raw meat or raw meat tools.
