Don't do this to chicken before cooking it: you may be spreading bacteria around the kitchen

An alert from specialist Cristina López de la Torre, from the European University of Andalusia, warns that washing raw chicken before cooking can spread bacteria around the kitchen. When running chicken under water, small droplets can transport microorganisms such as Salmonella and Campylobacter to countertops, dishes, and utensils, increasing the risk of cross-contamination with foods consumed without cooking. The recommendation is to use disposable kitchen paper to remove excess liquid and ensure that chicken reaches at least 74°C in the center to eliminate pathogens.
