Same and we usually wash to also reduce the smell of the raw meat and blood to better merge with spices otherwise chicken sometimes still carry the smell of raw meat even after cooking properly.

Depends on what you call washing. I personally put the chicken in a large bowl with water, vinegar and lemon to “marinate” for a while before actually marinating it.

I worked at a chicken processing plant for a few years and I wash my chicken. Not for bacteria, but for whatever stuff might be leftover after the plant sprays it and it also gets off any slimy stuff.
Precisely. But then, there are people attacked me for never cooking and illogical. I mean, it is obvious not every chicken is cleaned thoroughly prior to packing, and we clean chicken for that reason.
The main problem is colonizing your sink with chicken bacteria, that's a fucking huge sanitary issue with washing chicken. You could use paper towel to pet it dry or gently scrub it, nothing more
This doesn’t look professionally divisive, it looks culturally divisive. I use saline & vinegar or lemon juice to clean my chicken. Aside from sanitizing it helps get the goopy or yucky stuff off the surface of the chicken.
Maybe regionally divisive? I'm in the med and a lot of people keep chickens here. You rinse them when you gut them, but you don't have to wash a chicken from the butchery. I might feel different if I knew it came from a huge factory, though.
people think they're being smart but they're dumb as hell for not understanding why it WAS necessary to clean off chicken, and why it's NOT necessary in other countries. bacteria and pesticides had me dead 😂
1 - the washing is usually done with vinegar, baking soda, salt and/or lemon, not dishsoap or any othr industrial soup 2 - yep, Clean as you cook, clean especially around your sink well, alwayssss edit: it's not necessarily abt killing bacteria, it helps with the freshness of the chicken, especially getting rid of stale blood and pieces of bone and blood clots
Crazy that some people grow up thinking about bacteria like they’re kids still. Since I was 9 I knew that some heat can kill any bacteria that can harm you
To b clear, no one is using dish soap. That’s not a thing. I have modified my method: A soak in a large bowl with vinegar, lime juice, salt and water. During this process I remove bone fragments, feathers, stringy fat, unwanted skin or any other unwanted stuff…A low pressure rinse and pat dry before seasoning. I then sanitize the counter top, sink, faucets, soap bottles before moving on.
You can’t see everywhere it splashed with the naked eye even if you tried to sanitize everything it can get on your clothes, floor, nearby clean dishes etc etc without you even noticing it’s so much easier to just season it and throw it in the oven or pan fry it etc etc a lot less chance of it spreading. Lime and vinegar only do a very small amount of killing bacteria, cooking it literally kills basically all bacteria
@@haydotzero3372in North America the majority of chicken is washed with a bleach wash before being packaged and shipped out to stores. So doubling up is a waste of time. A vinegar and lime or other acid is a great way to wash chicken as it'll tenderize the meat also. Cooking is the only way to kill the bacteria and a pre-wash/rinse only helps us feel better about the meat.
I'm not Jamaican..African American. I wash my meats like you do. That lemon, some salt and maybe some apple cider vinegar. Then there's a hood splash of dishwasher liquid and bleaching that sink and everything after it's been cleaned and prepped. Wash your hands frequently. Put your seasoning all in before you massage or mix it in. That way you don't contaminate your seasoning containers. 😂😂😂😂❤❤❤❤ I don't care..I'm washing. I eat at home mostly anyways.
Do you mean marinating or cleaning? Big difference. If you need to clean your chicken, you are getting very low quality, poorly handled cheap dirty housed self cannabilising, sleeping in their own shit chickens.
@@elsosa7863We don't care care if it's organic chicken or run of the mill! We folks from the Caribbean will wash it, & other meats with lemon/lime/vinegar and sometimes salt! Many of us Haitians also take it a step further by washing with boiling hot water! The hot water is drained, the lime/lemon is thrown away & the meat rinsed one more time - before it's ready to be seasoned! You'll never eat any meat from Haitians and comment that it tastes gamey or funky!
traditionally people get a chicken that is alive and unalive after that it requires a thorough wash to clean it to remove the blood and other stuff people who say don't clean the chicken have never seen a chicken being unalive and have a supermarket for that
This is a common misunderstanding of what wash means. It simply means clean. Technically we’re giving the chicken a rinse to remove any debris. Not using soap but a salt, lime or vinegar to remove any contaminates that for sure could have gotten on your food prior.
@@Beeontreeit does tho. Any water droplet that touched the chicken and hit anywhere else is now potentially infected with solmonella. Just cook your chicken. It’s the only thing that kills bacteria
I think we should wash it because they might be some debris or feather left at the chicken (not to kill bacteria..because it sounded illogical)...maybe we can reduce the splash by rinsing it slowly. Just an opinion
I am assuming that “wash” means with vinegar, lemon, or lime, and NOT SOAP. 🤢 There is also cultural vernacular to consider when it comes to “washing” meat. I’m Caribbean and “washing meat” consists of using lemons or limes (and water) to sanitize it. Some people actually wash chicken with soap and water and that is very scary.
Cleaning the chicken have nothing to do with bacteria, it's about cleaning it from blood and other things that will definitely reduce its taste(and not being nasty)
For Caribbean people, We wash our chicken using lime juice or vinegar. We usually soak it in there for a few minutes then do it again. This process is mostly 4 rinses. Finally, we then rinse it with water. We also wash our rice in water
As a chef, I wash the chicken just to rid of any extra debris from liquids from the preservatives, small amount of blood and even feathers that may have been missed. As far as bacteria, that’s in the cooking process
This is the correct response... Don't trust the mechanical process especially when you want an awesome presentation. (Feathers take away from a good looking piece of chicken 😅)
Huh, i've always had a throughly washed chicken from the store. Never seen a feather, or blood. I always wondered how they are so perfect with it but i probably just don't buy enough chicken lol
Wash or not wash. I prepare my chicken I give it a gentle soft wash and some salt water I rub it there is a yellow film on the skin of some chickens I wash that off because it gives the chicken a subtle gamey flavor. Also feathers also if the chicken has been processed cut up there are bone fragments in marrow fragments on the skin of chicken. You don't wash your chicken I don't care it's safe to eat because there's no bacteria. But I don't want to eat it if you didn't wash it.
The experts very clearly tell you what any local state regulated food safety course will tell you: Don’t wash your poultry. If people are this wildly ignorant imagine when they hear you can take a course in a day which will give you enough knowledge on food safety to cook, prep and store foods properly at home. It’s not a debate.
Jamaican guy had it on point. Whether you wash it or not, you WILL get bacterial juices on your counters and sink. Maybe the question should be “should you wash your kitchen after working with meat”. And holy shit, YES, how do you not after working with raw meat, washed or unwashed 🤦♂️

Actually most home cases of salmonella is due to people “washing” chicken and the bacteria mixes with water vapors and spreads throughout the home. Not washing makes sure that any possible contaminants are contained and destroyed by the heat
A lot of people arguing don't seem to realise that not every country cleans the chicken for them.

@@Yahya-sb1yowhen most people express "washing" their chicken, they're not meaning with soap products. Water, salt, lemon, or vinegar are often the various options chosen.
As someone who did a shit ton of microbiology classes to become a nurse, there really is no purpose to cleaning your chicken. Just like one of the ladies said, it’s not gunna get rid of the bacteria from washing. Cooking will kill it. 🩷
Bought some veggies for my green juice last week. All packages were marked "washed". I stubbornly still put mine to soak in a bit of baking soda water, guess what I found! A live SNAIL! this is in the Netherlands, beautiful modern, clean supermarket. Guys wash EVERYTHING!!! (I am Afro Caribbean, this is how I was raised)
I feel you. I’m from NL too. One time I bought spinace “pre washed” and for once I did not rinse it before eating. I was in a rush. I got so sick for 3 weeks diarrhea straight
raw meat is not the same as vegetables. only the surface of vegetables is actually filthy which is why it's safe to eat them raw after cleaning. no amount of cleaning can EVER make raw meat sanitary. only cooking. you're just being superstitious.
@@stinkmongerno one is eating the chicken raw 😂. They’re literally just putting acid on the chicken before cooking. You see people use acid to get rid of a fishy smell?
@@yungkaleidohave you ever checked a chicken before? Because I’m pretty sure you have not, not all chicken you see or buy in the grocery stores or wherever else is clean with no debris, or small feathers, sometimes having a sprinkle of common sense helps
As an asian, for stew/soup chicken, we boil the chicken for around 15 minutes and discard the "wash" water, any dirt, loose fat, or blood will be dislodged, bacteria will mostly die, and you didn't make a mess.
That different. Vietnamese people do that. Those Americans that “wash” their chicken to “Fry it” are kinda dumb. Making Pho/ Stew and boiling the extra fat out is different then straight up washing it with water and lemon which is useless.
. So quick to try to make it seem like blacks in America are not supposed to wash chicken however, I've seen it done by so many other cultures. I was taught how to clean my chicken with vinegar and lemon juice from a Jamaican lol. I've seen plenty of asians, Africans and Filipinos wash their meat also. The only people who don't wash their meat are white people in America. However they weren't always known for being clean anyway. 🤷🏾
This makes the most sense. It would also get rid of that foamy scum when the chicken starts to boil. Fresh water would make the broth taste so much better too.
Its not about bacteria, only cooking will take care of that. Its about making sure there's no extra gunk/perserving liquids/bone bits. Just a quick rinse is good to get rid of unwanted bits, no need to "wash" just do a quick rinse, and please always clean your kitchen regardless of what you're cooking.
I don't know why it's so hard for people to understand this. You have no idea what that meat touched before packaging. Might have hit the factory floor.
@@QuintonRC23I like people love to say this like our nation doesn't have the strictest of FDAs who are constantly making sure our meat factories are clean AF and safe.
Dude all that's doing is potentially spreading the salmonella. The cooking also going to get rid of those bits you're scared of as well. But of you're that scared, then get some dry paper towels and pat the chicken down.
@@WillofDDThe same FDA that allowed America to be a greasy fat person’s wet dream, sure bruh. Y’all food regulations are already the absolute fucking worst among first world countries, like y’all eat shit that’s essentially poison for fun, there’s no doubt in my mind that somewhere in that production process people aren’t properly executing FDA protocols and the FDA likely don’t give af as long as they’re getting satisfied in some way.
Anybody that doesn’t washes their chicken before cooking it is nasty, wash it first with water then with vinegar, apple cider, lime juice or lemon juice. That’s how we do it in Jamaica and it makes the chicken taste better too. Proper hygiene is most important when it comes to cooking. You can also wash your chicken in hot salt water and remember to rinse properly. Jamaican food is the best in the world and it begins by clean and fresh food, everything must be cleaned before cooking. Clean and sanitize your kitchen before and after cooking. Don’t forget to season it before cooking too.
@@stevethepussycat9968 I'm talking about out of the packet. If I've got some chicken breasts and it's got that strong poultry smell I'm washing it off under running water, otherwise it transfers the odour to the food.
😂😂😂😂 That guy really said, you'll get the chicken juice everywhere. Like cleaning after cooking isn't a thing. Also how are you washing the chicken, are you punching the water, why is the chicken juice getting everywhere.
I wouldn’t wash it to clean it, after all the germs die during the cooking process because of the heat, the only reason I would wash it is to get rid of dirt or excess blood, but the chicken I buy is usually very clean beforehand. (And who likes the taste of soap in their chicken)
I was wondering was someone was going to say something about the water and the way you wash it. Who is putting a hard wash on the chicken. Bowl that ish and wash it. This is a dumb conversation.
I rinse my chicken to get rid of debris. Feathers, skin, fat, residue or debris from the processing plant, bits of plastic from packaging. Just anything that might end up in the chicken accidentally.
I think there is a misunderstanding on washing chicken. We don’t mean wash as in soap and water. We mean wash as in using something acidic such as vinegar or lime to get rid of unwanted or unsavory things. There is a huge difference in taste and texture when you clean the chicken properly.
“We” ain’t it. The people in the video are talking about rinsing the chicken in water. No one’s talking about using acid baths to remove flavors. I know of the process you’re talking about, I don’t understand how that has to do with this video.
I think you should look for an alternative way, washing your chicken can cause the salmonella from the chicken to spread to your sink and it just makes it a hassle to clean and can make anything near the sink unsafe
Most more melinated people wash or sanitize their meats. You don't have to use soap with all the chemicals, you can use sea salt, vinegar or lemon/lime juice or any other natural cleaners.
Overall, it's not really necessary to wash your chicken, I'd say. The dishes at the sink, the fact that washing will not kill the bacteria but cooking well will, the consideration of how unclean the sink's water might be depending on the place, and how hard it'd be to get all of that bacteria out of the chicken to begin with. It might actually be a better idea to boil it or put it still in mildly hot water with a bit of vinegar/salt/etc. for a few minutes, but then, you can rather just cook it as long as it is a healthy chicken. Oh, and don't get me started on the soap on food thing.
The amazing thing is that they act like they don't need to wash any of the utensils that they used to touch the raw chicken. Do they not season it in a bowl? Do they not chop the chicken on a cutting board? Sometimes there will be a recipe where the chicken is blended in an entire food processor. Should you throw the entire food processor away to avoid water spreading any contaminants?
You do know water will still splash everywhere because of little droplets 😂😂😂 when you can just not wash it put it in the oven and cook it and kill all the bacteria etc by cooking it properly because washing it won’t do shit because it’ll still have bacteria and germs like tf 😂
Yes you kill the bacteria when you cook it. But that chicken has been on all sorts of surfaces on its journey from the farm to table. Im not eating cooked dirt or debris
It's a cultural thing, so I've noticed. Wash, don't wash, does it really mater. Washing gets rid of debris and cooking kills the bacteria. Some of the worst food poisoning you can get is from cross contamination. Just be careful when washing so you don't cross contaminate other ingredients, surfaces, plates, kitchenware or even other side dishes.
It's stupid to wash it. It's not going to affect the taste or sanitization of the chicken when you wash it. All it does is increase your likelihood of getting salmonella from cross contamination. Even if you perfectly sanitize your sink afterwards, you've literally done nothing besides waste time.
It clearly does matter if you're spreading bacteria all over your sink and kitchen. It's so obvious: just because it's cultural, it doesn't mean it's correct, right, or good. The science is not even out on this one: washing chicken has *no* positive benefit vis-a-vis it's intended use, is more time consuming, and *spreads* bacteria.
They're also blasting it with water from the faucet so duh its going to splash 😂 A lot of people wash it in a bowl with lime and salt and sanitize the sink thoroughly after. It also makes a huge difference in breading sticking because it dissolves that nasty slimy coating under the skin. You can also definitely taste when chicken is not washed
it gives that they don’t clean after they cook 🤦🏾♀️! no matter what you do you always gotta wipe down the surfaces so that bacteria isn’t even a problem!!
It's the WAY you wash it that can be problematic. Don't just take it and run it under the sink water. That's what splashes it all over. It should be gently given a "bath" in some water and vinegar.
It’s very intresting to see the differences in how people were raised, personally I haven’t heard of people washing their chicken, at least not with dawn dish soap 😂
As Caribbean ppl we are big on cleanliness!! When it comes to food and how it's prepared, also hygiene!!! 🤢🤢🤮🤮 We don't play! This is why we don't eat at anyone's house 🤢🤢🤮😂😂😂
Do you wash your bacon ? Nope. Then don’t wash your chicken , it’s not effective. The bacteria is still there and you’re increasing the contamination in the kitchen .
The reason that there is such difference between 👩🏻🍳👨🏽🍳👩🏿🍳 people washing chicken is all about the ability to prevent your meat from getting bad in times before refrigerators existed 😅
This is not washing though in Brazil we do this too there’s actually I name For this. But it’s not technically washing it . I won’t cook meat before it has been set with vinegar and lemon for at least 24 hours but I don’t run it down the water
wash chicken= soaking with lime or vinegar. taking out the extra fat, blood, feathers, gunk etc before you rinse and then season. You sanitize your kitchen, that's all. No one gets sick in the countries that do this, the whole Caribbean, South America, India, etc etc etc !! Its an American fear?
I was always taught by my Jamaican mom to wash the chicken with vinegar. She has used lime too. My American auntie does vinegar and salt. I use either ways.
@@natbb9 it’s not to kill bacteria. my Jamaican dad says it’s to rinse off anything they might have sprayed on the chicken. And in the market you never know what they’ve done to the meat. If there’s any bone dust, water washes it off. I only wash it in a bowl and with salt water, lime and vinegar
I am Jamaican and we wash our chickens because I don’t know where it was stored before. It came into my house and if I bought chicken parts that means that there’s bone fragments, dirt sand whatever on my meat and I will not put that directly in my pot and cook it down that’s nasty I will do is wash it off and culturally speaking. We use either lemons or vinegar to clean our meat or both
I love how the “expert’s” demonstration is by washing the whole chicken under fast running water in the sink without using a bowl. Of course the bacteria is gonna spread if you do it that way. In my home, you fill a big bowl with water and some vinegar, put the chicken in, and clean it with lime or lemon and salt. It not only takes away the aftertaste of raw chicken, but it’s done to remove small bone fragments, tiny feathers, blood clots, dirt, and other stuff in the chicken. I think it also has to do with how food safety regulations are applied in countries. I know for America and other Western countries, their food safety regulations are very strict, so food products are usually safe to cook immediately. But for other countries where food safety regulations are not as heavily enforced, we must take the extra steps to clean out foods. Edit: I should add that, seeing as many of the comments cannot grasp what I’m saying, I obviously don’t come nor live in America and our food safety regulations are not as encoded and strict as America. For example, meat is usually bought from butcher’s shop, and the environment is usually not usually up to code. The washing is just a safety precaution which, although unnecessary to many, has stuck around. And yes, we obviously cook our meat. Finally, the washing of chicken seems to be more of a cultural difference (and no, it’s not only black people who do it, I know some white people who do it too. And as the chef stated, we wash down our sink area vigorously with soap, vinegar, and boiling water after washing and cooking. All in all, live and let live. We have been washing our chicken this way since I was born, and I’ve never gotten sick
I’m gonna blow your mind here, but guess what? It’s already rinsed at the factory. That process is already done. All you need to do at home is cook it to temperature
Thanks, I'll wash mine. Imagine how many people would have died over the centuries if washing your poultry and meat was bad. As for rinsing at the factory, how many other hands and surfaces have touched your meat and whether it was maintained at adequate temperatures during its journey to you. Only people who don't know how to handle food contaminates the whole sink area.
To each their own, but we wash chicken with water, then add lemon or lime, salt, turmeric. It not only cleanses it, but tenderizes also. Use Clorox wipes on the counter after. Pretty simple.
By wash, we asians mean a rinse with just water to get rid of physical sand, dirt, bone fragments, feather or whatever's been sitting on your butcher's floor. Not with soap!
Same and we usually wash to also reduce the smell of the raw meat and blood to better merge with spices otherwise chicken sometimes still carry the smell of raw meat even after cooking properly.

And for sure blood, which runs in every arteries and veins of a chicken; I have yet to see a chicken without blood. Soak or wash, any means to clean the chicken using water instead of just cooking the chicken right away.
@@crazzynezi think people who wash actually soak it like you mentioned. The chef saying to wash literally never used the faucet like those on the other side, he soaked his in a bowl.
@@MrWengweng93if your chicken collects debris and dust you're definitely doing something wrong
only thing to do is soak at most for stale blood but however if its fresh you probably wont need to do this
Depends on what you call washing. I personally put the chicken in a large bowl with water, vinegar and lemon to “marinate” for a while before actually marinating it.
Thats fine too
Some people would just soak the chicken in water and salt
That’s fine. In the video he shows people washing it with soap and some of it gets in the inside which is not going to be fully rinsed out. I prefer germs that die in heat vs soap in my food

not cleaning your chicken is like buying a mug from a store & immediately drinking water from it
I worked at a chicken processing plant for a few years and I wash my chicken. Not for bacteria, but for whatever stuff might be leftover after the plant sprays it and it also gets off any slimy stuff.
True
Precisely. But then, there are people attacked me for never cooking and illogical. I mean, it is obvious not every chicken is cleaned thoroughly prior to packing, and we clean chicken for that reason.
The main problem is colonizing your sink with chicken bacteria, that's a fucking huge sanitary issue with washing chicken. You could use paper towel to pet it dry or gently scrub it, nothing more
if your chickens slimy that means it went bad bro
You're buying old chicken 100% i buy chicken breast dont wash and its better than fast food for sure.
This doesn’t look professionally divisive, it looks culturally divisive. I use saline & vinegar or lemon juice to clean my chicken. Aside from sanitizing it helps get the goopy or yucky stuff off the surface of the chicken.
Maybe regionally divisive? I'm in the med and a lot of people keep chickens here. You rinse them when you gut them, but you don't have to wash a chicken from the butchery. I might feel different if I knew it came from a huge factory, though.
Just buy a kosher chicken, it's already been salted to death

No thanks black kitchens are dirty asf🤢y’all put spices on chicken and think you’re gordon ramsay😂😂😂
do u really think ur killing bacteria by doing that?
Crazy that some people grow up thinking about bacteria like they’re kids still. Since I was 9 I knew that some heat can kill any bacteria that can harm you
To b clear, no one is using dish soap. That’s not a thing. I have modified my method: A soak in a large bowl with vinegar, lime juice, salt and water. During this process I remove bone fragments, feathers, stringy fat, unwanted skin or any other unwanted stuff…A low pressure rinse and pat dry before seasoning. I then sanitize the counter top, sink, faucets, soap bottles before moving on.
You can’t see everywhere it splashed with the naked eye even if you tried to sanitize everything it can get on your clothes, floor, nearby clean dishes etc etc without you even noticing it’s so much easier to just season it and throw it in the oven or pan fry it etc etc a lot less chance of it spreading. Lime and vinegar only do a very small amount of killing bacteria, cooking it literally kills basically all bacteria
I always sanitize the sink and all its area with bleach and soap and sponge
@@haydotzero3372 Bleach does not kill chicken bacteria. Use vinegar and use bleach in the end because it just makes us feel better.
the only reasonable answer.
as a racist, I approve of your post👍🏻
@@haydotzero3372in North America the majority of chicken is washed with a bleach wash before being packaged and shipped out to stores. So doubling up is a waste of time. A vinegar and lime or other acid is a great way to wash chicken as it'll tenderize the meat also. Cooking is the only way to kill the bacteria and a pre-wash/rinse only helps us feel better about the meat.
You will NEVER convince a Caribbean to not wash their chicken lol. If I don’t wash chicken with vinegar and lime my husband won’t touch it!
I'm not Jamaican..African American. I wash my meats like you do. That lemon, some salt and maybe some apple cider vinegar. Then there's a hood splash of dishwasher liquid and bleaching that sink and everything after it's been cleaned and prepped. Wash your hands frequently. Put your seasoning all in before you massage or mix it in. That way you don't contaminate your seasoning containers. 😂😂😂😂❤❤❤❤ I don't care..I'm washing. I eat at home mostly anyways.

@@elsosa7863We don't care care if it's organic chicken or run of the mill! We folks from the Caribbean will wash it, & other meats with lemon/lime/vinegar and sometimes salt!
Many of us Haitians also take it a step further by washing with boiling hot water! The hot water is drained, the lime/lemon is thrown away & the meat rinsed one more time - before it's ready to be seasoned!
You'll never eat any meat from Haitians and comment that it tastes gamey or funky!
I'm haitian and came here to say the same thing lol
traditionally people get a chicken that is alive and unalive after that it requires a thorough wash to clean it to remove the blood and other stuff people who say don't clean the chicken have never seen a chicken being unalive and have a supermarket for that
It looks like there is a certain quality separating the people who do and don’t wash their chicken 🤔
This is a common misunderstanding of what wash means. It simply means clean. Technically we’re giving the chicken a rinse to remove any debris. Not using soap but a salt, lime or vinegar to remove any contaminates that for sure could have gotten on your food prior.
I hope no one really thinks you mean soap😂😂😂
Honestly, it taste better when it’s washed. You can taste all the nasty shit when it’s not

I am assuming that “wash” means with vinegar, lemon, or lime, and NOT SOAP. 🤢 There is also cultural vernacular to consider when it comes to “washing” meat. I’m Caribbean and “washing meat” consists of using lemons or limes (and water) to sanitize it.
Some people actually wash chicken with soap and water and that is very scary.
Yes when my mom prepares chicken she lets it sit in lime/lemon water in a bowl in the sink for a hour probably before cooking

Bro at first i thought the chicken had balls😂😂
For Caribbean people,
We wash our chicken using lime juice or vinegar. We usually soak it in there for a few minutes then do it again. This process is mostly 4 rinses. Finally, we then rinse it with water. We also wash our rice in water

Don't trust the mechanical process especially when you want an awesome presentation. (Feathers take away from a good looking piece of chicken 😅)
Huh, i've always had a throughly washed chicken from the store. Never seen a feather, or blood. I always wondered how they are so perfect with it but i probably just don't buy enough chicken lol
Thanks Chef, truth is truth! 😊
Wash or not wash. I prepare my chicken I give it a gentle soft wash and some salt water I rub it there is a yellow film on the skin of some chickens I wash that off because it gives the chicken a subtle gamey flavor. Also feathers also if the chicken has been processed cut up there are bone fragments in marrow fragments on the skin of chicken. You don't wash your chicken I don't care it's safe to eat because there's no bacteria. But I don't want to eat it if you didn't wash it.
I’m not a chef but I agree with you 💯, I wash my chicken with lemon and rinse it with water.
Washing your chicken back then made since, but most store bought chickens I don’t think need any cleaning
The experts very clearly tell you what any local state regulated food safety course will tell you: Don’t wash your poultry. If people are this wildly ignorant imagine when they hear you can take a course in a day which will give you enough knowledge on food safety to cook, prep and store foods properly at home. It’s not a debate.

That different. Vietnamese people do that.
Those Americans that “wash” their chicken to “Fry it” are kinda dumb.
Making Pho/ Stew and boiling the extra fat out is different then straight up washing it with water and lemon which is useless.
Finally, a logical explanation
. So quick to try to make it seem like blacks in America are not supposed to wash chicken however, I've seen it done by so many other cultures. I was taught how to clean my chicken with vinegar and lemon juice from a Jamaican lol. I've seen plenty of asians, Africans and Filipinos wash their meat also. The only people who don't wash their meat are white people in America. However they weren't always known for being clean anyway. 🤷🏾
This makes the most sense. It would also get rid of that foamy scum when the chicken starts to boil. Fresh water would make the broth taste so much better too.
Its not about bacteria, only cooking will take care of that. Its about making sure there's no extra gunk/perserving liquids/bone bits. Just a quick rinse is good to get rid of unwanted bits, no need to "wash" just do a quick rinse, and please always clean your kitchen regardless of what you're cooking.

Anybody that doesn’t washes their chicken before cooking it is nasty, wash it first with water then with vinegar, apple cider, lime juice or lemon juice.

I think there is a misunderstanding on washing chicken. We don’t mean wash as in soap and water. We mean wash as in using something acidic such as vinegar or lime to get rid of unwanted or unsavory things. There is a huge difference in taste and texture when you clean the chicken properly.

no one saying it’ll kill you it’s just an unnecessary step especially when most people today don’t have time to be doing extra unnecessary stuff
Overall, it's not really necessary to wash your chicken, I'd say. The dishes at the sink, the fact that washing will not kill the bacteria but cooking well will, the consideration of how unclean the sink's water might be depending on the place, and how hard it'd be to get all of that bacteria out of the chicken to begin with. It might actually be a better idea to boil it or put it still in mildly hot water with a bit of vinegar/salt/etc. for a few minutes, but then, you can rather just cook it as long as it is a healthy chicken. Oh, and don't get me started on the soap on food thing.

The amazing thing is that they act like they don't need to wash any of the utensils that they used to touch the raw chicken. Do they not season it in a bowl? Do they not chop the chicken on a cutting board? Sometimes there will be a recipe where the chicken is blended in an entire food processor. Should you throw the entire food processor away to avoid water spreading any contaminants?
Doesn't even matter it obviously didn't wash off either so washing is just a waste
You do know water will still splash everywhere because of little droplets 😂😂😂 when you can just not wash it put it in the oven and cook it and kill all the bacteria etc by cooking it properly because washing it won’t do shit because it’ll still have bacteria and germs like tf 😂
Yes you kill the bacteria when you cook it. But that chicken has been on all sorts of surfaces on its journey from the farm to table. Im not eating cooked dirt or debris
I rinse not wash, as in no soap. Packaged chicken that sits usually gets a slimy texture, hence the rinse.
It's a cultural thing, so I've noticed.
Wash, don't wash, does it really mater. Washing gets rid of debris and cooking kills the bacteria. Some of the worst food poisoning you can get is from cross contamination. Just be careful when washing so you don't cross contaminate other ingredients, surfaces, plates, kitchenware or even other side dishes.
It's stupid to wash it. It's not going to affect the taste or sanitization of the chicken when you wash it. All it does is increase your likelihood of getting salmonella from cross contamination. Even if you perfectly sanitize your sink afterwards, you've literally done nothing besides waste time.
Washing to remove bacteria is stupid tho
@@retardo-qo4ujhow
It clearly does matter if you're spreading bacteria all over your sink and kitchen. It's so obvious: just because it's cultural, it doesn't mean it's correct, right, or good. The science is not even out on this one: washing chicken has *no* positive benefit vis-a-vis it's intended use, is more time consuming, and *spreads* bacteria.

They're also blasting it with water from the faucet so duh its going to splash 😂 A lot of people wash it in a bowl with lime and salt and sanitize the sink thoroughly after. It also makes a huge difference in breading sticking because it dissolves that nasty slimy coating under the skin. You can also definitely taste when chicken is not washed

It's the WAY you wash it that can be problematic. Don't just take it and run it under the sink water. That's what splashes it all over. It should be gently given a "bath" in some water and vinegar.
Nah they had that faucet all the way up in that example😂😂. You gotta have the water on low.
It’s very intresting to see the differences in how people were raised, personally I haven’t heard of people washing their chicken, at least not with dawn dish soap 😂
Yea, normal people just rinse lol
People wash their chicken with lemon, vinegar or both.
@@ambi_cc8464’normal’, i’ve never seen a single person rinse their chicken even with water
@@colhufsits pretty common most people i know rinse their chicken
idk if it's just where im from, but raw chicken gets washed here either way (though using soap is weird)@@colhufs
The Jamaican Chef is my favorite explanation! I would eat in his restaurant!👏👏👏👏
As Caribbean ppl we are big on cleanliness!! When it comes to food and how it's prepared, also hygiene!!! 🤢🤢🤮🤮 We don't play! This is why we don't eat at anyone's house 🤢🤢🤮😂😂😂
@melaninchocolate6552 and they better not offer me a cup of water. It better be in a bottle or ill pass
He's too high to realize he's stupid. I'm a professional chef, I own my own restaurant, he's DEAD wrong.
Still cross contamination
Do you wash your bacon ? Nope. Then don’t wash your chicken , it’s not effective. The bacteria is still there and you’re increasing the contamination in the kitchen .
blud said "it splatters and gets everywhere" turn ya pipe down
The reason that there is such difference between 👩🏻🍳👨🏽🍳👩🏿🍳 people washing chicken is all about the ability to prevent your meat from getting bad in times before refrigerators existed 😅
yes as west africans we thoroughly wash with lemon juice or vinegar or both!
Thank you. These people are really nasty. Eewwwww. Not washing chicken.
This is to remove bad smells & filth... Plus it tenderizes the meat. Me being from a Muslim family, we also do this
Because West Africa does not have a good quality of sanitation for the food, compared to the US or other well developed countries.
This is not washing though in Brazil we do this too there’s actually I name
For this. But it’s not technically washing it . I won’t cook meat before it has been set with vinegar and lemon for at least 24 hours but I don’t run it down the water
So ignorant. If you think your quality of food is good in America, you are sadly mistaken.. @@actualyoungsoo
wash chicken= soaking with
lime or vinegar. taking out the extra fat, blood, feathers, gunk etc before you rinse and then season. You sanitize your kitchen, that's all. No one gets sick in the countries that do this, the whole Caribbean, South America, India, etc etc etc !! Its an American fear?
Also Africa we wash our chicken
@@alz3712 you don't speak for us we soak it
I dunno they keep bringing up salmonella when most of us that wash our chicken clean our kitchen never got salmonella
Facts
it’s probably due to the extremely high incidence of salmonella in SPECIFICALLY American chicken and dear of contamination
If you don't wash your chicken, that's fine. When YOU are sick don't call me 😂.
I was always taught by my Jamaican mom to wash the chicken with vinegar. She has used lime too. My American auntie does vinegar and salt. I use either ways.
Me too bro
You think lime, vinegar, or salt is going to kill salmonella vs. 400° of heat? Smart. Really smart. You must be some kind of genius.
@@natbb9 it’s not to kill bacteria. my Jamaican dad says it’s to rinse off anything they might have sprayed on the chicken. And in the market you never know what they’ve done to the meat. If there’s any bone dust, water washes it off. I only wash it in a bowl and with salt water, lime and vinegar
Both are wrong
@@isaiah904s They are correct, was your chicken 😂😂
“…That’s why you sanitize your sink after you wash everything…” wash your chicken folks, just not with Dawn🙄😂
If you have to wash your chlorinated chicken, something is wrong with the chicken.
Who's Dawn
😂😂😂😂😂
Liked and subbed. Please try play different then every other youtuber playing breakpoint ❤
Bruh Why did I catch a glimpse of him holding balls at the beginning of the video😂😂
I am Jamaican and we wash our chickens because I don’t know where it was stored before. It came into my house and if I bought chicken parts that means that there’s bone fragments, dirt sand whatever on my meat and I will not put that directly in my pot and cook it down that’s nasty I will do is wash it off and culturally speaking. We use either lemons or vinegar to clean our meat or both
Black people all around the world from Africa throughout the Caribbean and especially in America wash their chicken.
Yh I totally agree with you .
I love how the “expert’s” demonstration is by washing the whole chicken under fast running water in the sink without using a bowl. Of course the bacteria is gonna spread if you do it that way.
In my home, you fill a big bowl with water and some vinegar, put the chicken in, and clean it with lime or lemon and salt. It not only takes away the aftertaste of raw chicken, but it’s done to remove small bone fragments, tiny feathers, blood clots, dirt, and other stuff in the chicken.
I think it also has to do with how food safety regulations are applied in countries. I know for America and other Western countries, their food safety regulations are very strict, so food products are usually safe to cook immediately. But for other countries where food safety regulations are not as heavily enforced, we must take the extra steps to clean out foods.
Edit: I should add that, seeing as many of the comments cannot grasp what I’m saying, I obviously don’t come nor live in America and our food safety regulations are not as encoded and strict as America. For example, meat is usually bought from butcher’s shop, and the environment is usually not usually up to code. The washing is just a safety precaution which, although unnecessary to many, has stuck around. And yes, we obviously cook our meat. Finally, the washing of chicken seems to be more of a cultural difference (and no, it’s not only black people who do it, I know some white people who do it too. And as the chef stated, we wash down our sink area vigorously with soap, vinegar, and boiling water after washing and cooking. All in all, live and let live. We have been washing our chicken this way since I was born, and I’ve never gotten sick
I’m gonna blow your mind here, but guess what? It’s already rinsed at the factory. That process is already done. All you need to do at home is cook it to temperature
lol you do not need to wash, even gently, meat! Just cook it
Why are you eating raw chicken?
if the reason is for bacteria what sense does this even make. cooking kills all the bacteria
Thanks, I'll wash mine. Imagine how many people would have died over the centuries if washing your poultry and meat was bad. As for rinsing at the factory, how many other hands and surfaces have touched your meat and whether it was maintained at adequate temperatures during its journey to you. Only people who don't know how to handle food contaminates the whole sink area.
Put your chicken in a pot with water and vinegar. It's a huge difference in taste by washing impurities away.
I wash because theres always a little bit of slime, plus sometimes theres bits of bone and other stuff. So i just make a light rinse
To each their own, but we wash chicken with water, then add lemon or lime, salt, turmeric. It not only cleanses it, but tenderizes also. Use Clorox wipes on the counter after. Pretty simple.
