The problem is it’s not a wash, it’s a brine. If you do it for a few minutes and cook it of coarse you won’t tell a difference. But if you leave it overnight then you will. Vinegars and lime/lemon is scientifically proven to break down enzymes in meat to make it more tender and juicy. I know some people use it as a wash to cut the smell of the raw meat. But it’s actually a brine/marinade.

Man if you have ever been inside a chicken processing plant you would wash every piece. It’s refrigerated but still smells like decomposition and there is this “chicken sludge” all over everything
When you wash chicken it spreads the bacteria more because if we use hot water it will be dry but If we use cold it spreads the bacteria but having no taste difference
@@hapcot that's not what it does. Yes that might be true but most people leave the meat to dry before eating it. Which gives plenty of time for the bacteria to ingest itself into the meat contaminating it and giving you food poisoning
Also hot water can make bacteria grow on a chicken Stuff like pneumonia and bacteria to cause dyharriea. But cold water makes it spread I would just recommend not washing the chicken
@@imaginedragondeeznutsaccro1215 That's not how it works. Even if the bacteria could penetrate the food that quickly, and if that time frame mattered, cooking it would still kill the bacteria
Why would it taste different lol you put the same exact thing on both but you’re nasty asf if you don’t wash your meat. And by the way no one expect the lemon and vinegar to add flavour it’s to take away the rawness dummy
Pretty sure cooking it takes away the "rawness" lmao. Literally spreading salmonella all over your kitchen if you're washing chicken in your sink and not immediately following up with a bleach wipe down. Also, cooking to 165° will take away the "rawness" and ensure that all of the germs are gone.... so no need for washing.
Bro you the dummy.you can see most people don't wash their chicken and there fine.washing does not take away rawness taste and does not kill the germs.thats what cooking is for.learn to cook boy

Im not surprised at all. I’m a pretty literal and analytical person. I notice that people, religiously, engage in a lot practices that make no difference to the end result, especially in the areas of cooking and exercise.
it does not prevent sickness...cooking it does. the heat from cooking kills any and all harmful bacteria. when washing it you spread the bacteria all over your kitchen workspace (yes even if you're being careful) and you will be at a higher risk of infection
Washing the chicken doesn’t scientifically do anything for kitchen cleanliness, that’s probably why it’s only black people still doing it. It requires reading a science paper.
Not about taste difference. Just like washing veggies, you never know if your food was coated with something for preservation or dropped on the floor or something. You wash your hands while cooking don’t you?
When washing your chicken you can see nothing comes off the chicken.and tons of people who don't wash there chicken is fine so what your reason for washing chicken
There is no way adding vinegar and lemon taste exactly the same as something that doesn’t have those flavors ask anyone that hates lemon or vinegar they will taste it
If you clean your chicken: People washing chicken before cooking it probably do it habitually. Some perhaps believe it will help in getting rid of the pathogenic bacteria on the chicken. In fact, this practice only makes the probability of getting infected with pathogenic bacteria (e.g. campylobacter, salmonella) much higher. So, for the people that say it’s a “sanitary” thing, you’re just making your kitchen more unsanitary. And it doesn’t really clean the chicken at all. Have fun.
Bacteria gets killed by heat. Majority of people have not hunt food in their life. Whether if it’s fishing, hunting deer, and/or raising livestock, washing your meat to get rid of bacteria? The moment you place your meat in a hot skillet pan or cook it in a fire pit, the bacteria is dead.
If it's not about flavor then what is it? Hundreds of scientific studies have showed its worse to wash chicken in terms of cleanliness so there's literally no point in washing chicken
Who the F get advice from tiktok 😂 not me and grandma and momma 's kitchen is the best place to learn... garlic powder and paprika don't go on everything
Washing has to do with the texture and feel of the meat (more apparent when it has skin on). Washing your chicken WILL NOT CLEAN it from bacteria and disease. It will rinse only the surface of your meat. Everyone’s meat is “sanitized” during the cooking process as the high heat kills bacteria.
Not to mention that whether or not you wash your chicken, the risk of salmonella from under cooking it will be about the same. As long as everyone does their respective technique in an appropriate manner, no harm is done 👍
It’s supposed to take away bacteria but it doesn’t it just spreads it all around the kitchen and also cooking kills bacteria. I think it’s kinda of just cultural/traditional.
Not everyone buys packaged, precleaned and pre-cut chickens. The vinegar or citric juices and water is used clean off the slime, impurities, unwanted fat and organs from chickens killed at home.
The only people who wash chicken are home cooks who don’t know anything it does absolutely and in all my years working in professional kitchens I haven’t seen a single person do it like what do you think it’s gonna do kill the salmonella because that’s not how that works
Omg my guy been doing it professionally for 15 plus years in steakhouses and no one ever washes the meats these people go out for steak dinners eat at kfc, chick fila, and they don't think about it then they all sound crazy dumb to people like us. If my chef caught you washing meat he'd fire you for wasting company time 😆 🤣 😂
Something very important I learned about washing chicken is that you never do it when you're washing chicken the way you splashed around the water you contaminated your sink if you just put the chicken in the hot pan or fryer or oven is just going to cook it and kill all the germs you can't kill the germs in the sink you contaminated it
Literally run it under the water for a few seconds and it’s not to kill any bacteria it’s to get any thing like dirt or anything that was floating around with the chicken blood etc!

People just want an excuse to be lazy. Further reason you can't eat at everyone's house.
@@goldengoddess6504 what do you mean by that? Definitely I recommend Adam Ragusea’s video using scientific data on the amount of Salmonella splatter that water inflicts on a kitchen. Washing in a bowl is SIGNIFICANTLY better than washing in the sink.
I sincerely off a bit of advice for you: I have no quarrel against you. I sincerely believe that you 100% believe in what you are saying. I completely believe that you truly think washing meat is better because that's what you're always known. I have no problem with that. However, considering I am accepting your word completely, in that you believe what you believe, and that you do not have any ulterior motives (i.e. I'm “just lazy”), I would sincerely hope that you would offer the same gratuity to me. I am just following the advice that the people I trust who have done studies on the topic. I didn't have an opinion until I looked into the studies. I believe you have reasons to believe what you do. Let's just not question each other’s motives, considering we know absolutely nothing about each other.

I said what I said. You replied to me. I did not reply to you, or attack you personally. I subscribe to the same channel you do. There is no reason for you to feel triggered.
You'll continue to do what you do, and I'll continue to use salt, lemon, vinegar + ammonia and bleach (not at the same time) in my kitchen like it's my heavenly appointed job.
Opinions are like kitchen sanitation rules; everybody's got their own.
It increases salmonella on the chicken because tap water isn't 100 percent safe even if you don't use tap water it still does nothing
We don't wash the chicken for taste, we wash it to get any dirt and impurities off. If you used the exact seasonings, it will taste exactly the same 👀
@I😐I yes but you will still be left with the dirt, slime and unnecessary fat and skin. I don't recommend putting directly in you sink, just put it in a large bowl with some lemon or vinegar and cold water. Once done pour the water off and rinse again then pour directly into the drain. Try it, you'll see the difference 😉
@I😐I yes you have to cut it off with a knife or scissors. If you prefer to not take the extra step to wash off the grime that's your preference. People always ask the question and I gave the reasons why we wash and clean the chicken first. I always say, if you like it I love it. I prefer to have my meats cleaned before cooking it. IJS
@I😐I it's like when you buy veggies in a bag that's pre washed, I still rinse them off before I eat or cook it. Have you ever eaten something and it's gritty to when you eat it, well it's because there was still dirt and grime on it 🤔
Washing chicken is outdated. Just pat it dry and season it, ready to cook. Food safety with poultry meats is extremely strict, washing the chicken actually increases the chance of salmonella.
Theres no chance of salnonella if you fucking cook it and dont eat it raw.
@Jull it can spread salmonella in your sink and kitchen giving it to something like salad, dishes and vegetables. you know, things you _don't_ cook
@@ErieRosewood That’s why you clean your sink afterwards
@Blank Blank tf is chicken gunk? chicken? It’s getting cooked enough to kill salmonella, so why would you worry about “chicken gunk”
@Blank Blank please define what “chicken gunk” is?
Tje difference is when washed the lime takes away the raw meat scent /taste plus it removes all foreign particles

You’re supposed to let it sit in the vinegar/lemon juice/salt overnight, it should be a pale white color(will almost look like cooked chicken). Rubbing the outside for a few seconds won’t do anything lol. I kinda hate how they call it “washing” it’s literally just a brine/very simple marinade.

See now this makes sense! Thanks for the explanation. Do you think it’s the same for things like oxtails ?

Thank you I was looking for this exact comment without lemon the chicken stinks

No reason besides superstition.
All of yall think the same. Idiots

Cuz your a nasty fuker if you don't......best answer I know
As a British Carribean person, i couldn't imagine not cleaning chicken. Even if just for peace of mind.
Cleaning chicken means taking off the skin and fat
You forgot to pull the skin back and get the major part of that slime 🇬🇾
Vinegar or lemon juice and salt poultry and fish and for more Barnyard smelling meat like goat, lamb , or beef you can also add a bit of flour🙏❤💛💚
Don’t pre-salt ur meat the salt will draw out water and it’s easier to become dry , if u want to draw out that barnyard smell soak the meat in MILK for 30 min to an hour (2 hours if u don’t like the gamey taste)
The same goes for organ meats like liver or kidneys , soaking in milk will draw out that minerally /barnyard taste
Exactly! And the dark meat has hella fat under there. Why they so hell bent over the way people clean their meat? Hell, if they choose not to clean theor meat, so what! But for those who do, let them be! Im cleaning my meat!
Washing chicken for sanitation purposes
It will only add germs
Don’t wash your chicken, it doesn’t kill salmonella, cook it and save yourself some time
Yeah, just cook it at a temperature where the bacteria dies
Not about the taste it's about cleaning the skin, rinsing the blood and debris
The chicken came out looking delicious! 😍😍
Glad you liked it ❤
Not supposed to be for taste. It's to remove the slime and help clean it.
Difference is how violent poop comes out and stomach turning
Holy fng hell, THAT DOESNT KILL BACTERIA, guess what does tho, HIGH FREAKING HEAT. USE UR BRAINS PLZ
Anyone remember that girl who used bleach to clean her chicken 😭😭
Yeah, people who wash their chicken and say it makes a huge difference in taste, just never knowingly had unwashed chicken. (They definitely have because 80% of restaurants don’t wash their chicken)
The smell and taste cannot be the same . I hate the smell and taste of unwash chicken.
It’s not suppose to taste different
So what is the point?

Washing chicken is a waste of time and spreads bacteria, leaving it in a brine overnight will make it taste better that's why they do it in restaurants.

Man if you have ever been inside a chicken processing plant you would wash every piece. It’s refrigerated but still smells like decomposition and there is this “chicken sludge” all over everything
When you wash chicken it spreads the bacteria more because if we use hot water it will be dry but If we use cold it spreads the bacteria but having no taste difference
Cooking kills off any bacteria anyways, so it literally doesn't matter
@@hapcot that's not what it does. Yes that might be true but most people leave the meat to dry before eating it. Which gives plenty of time for the bacteria to ingest itself into the meat contaminating it and giving you food poisoning
@@imaginedragondeeznutsaccro1215 nigga what are you talking about
Also hot water can make bacteria grow on a chicken
Stuff like pneumonia and bacteria to cause dyharriea.
But cold water makes it spread
I would just recommend not washing the chicken
@@imaginedragondeeznutsaccro1215 That's not how it works. Even if the bacteria could penetrate the food that quickly, and if that time frame mattered, cooking it would still kill the bacteria
Why would it taste different lol you put the same exact thing on both but you’re nasty asf if you don’t wash your meat. And by the way no one expect the lemon and vinegar to add flavour it’s to take away the rawness dummy
Pretty sure cooking it takes away the "rawness" lmao. Literally spreading salmonella all over your kitchen if you're washing chicken in your sink and not immediately following up with a bleach wipe down. Also, cooking to 165° will take away the "rawness" and ensure that all of the germs are gone.... so no need for washing.
Bro you the dummy.you can see most people don't wash their chicken and there fine.washing does not take away rawness taste and does not kill the germs.thats what cooking is for.learn to cook boy
Like how you called him a dummy. Yet said washing will take away the rawness. Oh the irony. You dumb asf

Why have you gone to school for culinary arts?
@@jacobmcconner6537 Yes the university I attended has one of the best culinary arts programs in the nation!! Washing chicken is taught in the 1st 20 minutes😂
No !!! Washing Chicken Doesn't Taste different
But
What it Does
Is Clean your Chicken
Washing Out All or Any of its feathers, bones, particles, Dust Debris from the Chicken Plant ect. that could be left behind
And to Inspect your Meat
it's a Sanitary Thing
And Do You really want to eat All or Any of that gross stuff
🤮
Think About it
But
You Do you Boo lmbO
Exactly
If you got visible stuff on your chicken buy it from some where else but if you can't that's a good reason to wash chicken.but washing chicken is only justifiable if there is visible stuff on it
What kinda chicken are you buying that it's got feathers
@@superbob0315 this guy I know that works at a Chicken Plant told me Once
Never Ever buy Chicken that's Cut Up
The Reason Why
Is that there are Chickens that could have Green Slime in parts of it
The Wokers will Cut Off that part
Throw it away and Use the Rest of the Chicken Parts
For Cut Up Chicken Parts
(That You Pay More for)
The green is cuz the Chicken has
Cancer
The FDA allows for the plant to Sell so much of the Chicken this way
You would Be Very Surprise what going on
Im not surprised at all. I’m a pretty literal and analytical person. I notice that people, religiously, engage in a lot practices that make no difference to the end result, especially in the areas of cooking and exercise.
The point of washing chicken is to clean it not to make it taste better I would never eat unwashed chicken
You must not eat at restaurants then because none of them do
Never thought cleaning was for the taste, I think it's to prevent getting sick silly...
How the fuck would washing meat prevent you from getting sick? Are ypu actually out here calling people silly when you are clearly dumb af?
it does not prevent sickness...cooking it does. the heat from cooking kills any and all harmful bacteria.
when washing it you spread the bacteria all over your kitchen workspace (yes even if you're being careful) and you will be at a higher risk of infection
@@inciknight a voice of reason finally.
If you're black and you don't wash your chicken your black card is permanently revoked
“If you’re black and don’t do this ignorant shit you’re not black” lmfao buncha crabs in a bucket 😂😂😂
Washing the chicken doesn’t scientifically do anything for kitchen cleanliness, that’s probably why it’s only black people still doing it. It requires reading a science paper.
So be retarded and you can be black? Got it

Not about taste difference. Just like washing veggies, you never know if your food was coated with something for preservation or dropped on the floor or something. You wash your hands while cooking don’t you?
When washing your chicken you can see nothing comes off the chicken.and tons of people who don't wash there chicken is fine so what your reason for washing chicken
There is no way adding vinegar and lemon taste exactly the same as something that doesn’t have those flavors ask anyone that hates lemon or vinegar they will taste it
Big dog people dont wash chicken for taste
I understand the scientific point of not washing chicken but SO WHAT?! I will continue to wash my meats as my ancestors did
Your ancestors killed that chicken and had to wash the blood and intestine juices off it. I've done it. Have you?
Washing chicken is like washing your apple « essentially » it’s to clean the chicken
Washing your chicken is pointless folks. It’s about cooking it to the right temperature.
for bacteria, yes, not for cleaning junk off of it.
There’s a big difference to me!!!
Not just you.
If you clean your chicken: People washing chicken before cooking it probably do it habitually. Some perhaps believe it will help in getting rid of the pathogenic bacteria on the chicken. In fact, this practice only makes the probability of getting infected with pathogenic bacteria (e.g. campylobacter, salmonella) much higher.
So, for the people that say it’s a “sanitary” thing, you’re just making your kitchen more unsanitary. And it doesn’t really clean the chicken at all. Have fun.
Bacteria gets killed by heat.
Majority of people have not hunt food in their life.
Whether if it’s fishing, hunting deer, and/or raising livestock, washing your meat to get rid of bacteria?
The moment you place your meat in a hot skillet pan or cook it in a fire pit, the bacteria is dead.
Who need to wash the chicken just brine it instead :)
y’all bacteria dies in heat so washing does nothing
If it's not about flavor then what is it? Hundreds of scientific studies have showed its worse to wash chicken in terms of cleanliness so there's literally no point in washing chicken
I'm gonna keep washing my chicken 🐔..
It shouldn't make it taste better, but you could also use the things you used to wash it as a brine to make it more tender
Thank you for all you contributions God Bless
Yes it tastes better with the lemon. It tastes fresher but you go on ahead and believe that.
Washing chicken is completely unnecessary. If you must, simply rinse it off with cold water.
That's exactly what you should never do!
I'm not going to explain it to you so just look it up.
Not cold water but lime and vinegar is not good, too much sodium and acid
It doesn't matter if it does or doesn't I'm still going to wash my chicken and other meats like l was taught
At a school? Grandma's kitchen and tik tok don't count. 😆 🤣 😂
Who the F get advice from tiktok 😂 not me and grandma and momma 's kitchen is the best place to learn... garlic powder and paprika don't go on everything
Using lemon helps to get the nauseous smell of poultry off. The spices impact the taste.
boi if that looks good
I think the only difference might be the quality of the chicken
Washing has to do with the texture and feel of the meat (more apparent when it has skin on). Washing your chicken WILL NOT CLEAN it from bacteria and disease. It will rinse only the surface of your meat. Everyone’s meat is “sanitized” during the cooking process as the high heat kills bacteria.
Not to mention that whether or not you wash your chicken, the risk of salmonella from under cooking it will be about the same. As long as everyone does their respective technique in an appropriate manner, no harm is done 👍
It’s supposed to take away bacteria but it doesn’t it just spreads it all around the kitchen and also cooking kills bacteria. I think it’s kinda of just cultural/traditional.
It's just for self satisfaction 😆
Not everyone buys packaged, precleaned and pre-cut chickens. The vinegar or citric juices and water is used clean off the slime, impurities, unwanted fat and organs from chickens killed at home.
Love your videos bro!!!
Gotta was the micro plastics off
Packaged chicken like that that’s been processed properly won’t make a difference regardless. There’s no need to rub it in lemons
The only people who wash chicken are home cooks who don’t know anything it does absolutely and in all my years working in professional kitchens I haven’t seen a single person do it like what do you think it’s gonna do kill the salmonella because that’s not how that works

Forgot the dish soap
Something very important I learned about washing chicken is that you never do it when you're washing chicken the way you splashed around the water you contaminated your sink if you just put the chicken in the hot pan or fryer or oven is just going to cook it and kill all the germs you can't kill the germs in the sink you contaminated it
Cook them on a rack with a tray under it to catch the grease, makes them more crispy
Who tf out here washing chicken? XD
Literally run it under the water for a few seconds and it’s not to kill any bacteria it’s to get any thing like dirt or anything that was floating around with the chicken blood etc!
ya'll better be using lemons and vinegar on all the tops of soda cans and drinks before you drink them then. I lost count of all the rats and mice scurrying around all over the stock in back of grocery store I worked in.
