There seems to be a debate on whether or not you should wash your chicken.
Some health experts are telling people not to wash raw chicken. Washing raw chicken before cooking it reportedly can increase your risk of food poisoning from different bacteria which could spread.
Television personality Dr. Oz dropped by The Breakfast Club this morning to explain why there's no health benefit to washing your chicken before you cook it.Despite what you’ve heard, you DON’T need to wash chicken before cooking it. Here’s why: https://t.co/U0M9WYpVUJ pic.twitter.com/uRXO18p05p— Dr. Mehmet Oz (@DrOz) May 21, 2019
“No matter what you do, there’s no incremental benefit to washing the chicken,” Dr. Oz said. “If you wash it, you’re not killing your salmonella with water, believe it or not. Make that our anthem for the summer: No more washing chicken! Put it in the oven, let the oven do the work for you.”
Charlamagne called it “white people sh*t.”
Even the CDC warned people earlier this month to not wash their chicken:
Don’t wash your raw chicken! Washing can spread germs from the chicken to other food or utensils in the kitchen. https://t.co/QlFpd1alG3 pic.twitter.com/bLB1ofcuh7— CDC (@CDCgov) April 26, 2019
And, a lot of people (including myself) aren't having it!

If you buy chicken and immediately cook it right out that package I don’t trust you
You don’t have to wash all your meat, but if you don’t wash your chicken ... you cannot be trusted— make it make sense (@AintNoThroatBih) May 21, 2019
