Disclaimer: I haven’t eaten raw chicken. Not looking for Reddit quips telling me to go to an emergency room.

Was just wondering if salmonella is pretty much guaranteed when eating raw chicken or if it’s something like 50/50 and an easy preventative measure like throwing out expired/damaged cans of food or washing fruits and vegetables before you eat them. I feel like I’ve seen a lot of people in TV shows and movies eating raw eggs.

    If you’re worried about salmonella and non-dry chicken:

    Basically if you keep the temp at 144°F for 10 minutes it’s safe to eat.

    Also, they die after 4 hours on kitchen surfaces!

      I love to learn the 4 hours thing! He’s definitely cooks chicken fine, it’s that I am always nervous that he puts the packaging on the counter and what if he touches that and then the cabinet handle to get the pan, and what if he moves another pot out of the way, I just feel like I wash my hands and the counters after every step and he doesn’t

        You tell me - my wife got this scented super high quality soap for the kitchen. It’s okay for her but since I wash my hands way too often I switched to re-lipidizing doctor‘s soap for frequent handwashing due to rough skin between my fingers
