Do You Rinse Your Chicken Before You Cook It? Here’s Why You Should Stop

As we said, rinsing chicken isn’t just a waste of time, but it’s also potentially dangerous for your family’s health. According to Food Republic, it might even be a more productive means by which to SPREAD harmful bacteria.

By rinsing raw chicken before cooking it, you are in fact effectively distributing infection around your kitchen in the form of chicken-y water droplets.

So if you’ve been washing your chicken, save yourself some time (and stop the spread of pointless germs) by simply keeping raw chicken confined to one non-porous cutting board that you can clean well. And, to reiterate, always wash your hands after handling raw meat. That is crucial.
