    Washing chicken is unfortunately fairly common in the United States. People think it reduces salmonella risk. They’re the opposite of correct, but that’s why they do it.

      How do we know it’s common? I’m in the US and i never heard of washing chicken.

      I’ve heard of defrosting it under running water (in a container placed in a sink) but that’s it.
