This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Unwashed Chicken is totally safe if you do this one amazing trick.

Cook it properly.

If you don't know how to do that by sight or touch then buy yourself a instant read thermometer.

Washed chicken won't be any safer if it's undercooked, salmonella isn't a surface only danger, so you can remove the "unwashed" part at the beginning.

Washed chicken is a stupid concept, I was including the unwashed part because that is the default state of uncooked chicken.

Unless you accidentally drop a chicken on the floor and don't want to waste it, there isn't a reason to wash it.
