Safer Alternatives
Instead of rinsing poultry, Dr Sam suggested safer methods:
• Pat chicken dry with paper towels and dispose of them immediately.
• Briefly blanch the chicken in boiling water and discard the water.
• Focus on cooking chicken to an internal temperature of 75°C (167°F) to kill bacteria.
“So wash your hands, not your hen,” he quipped. “It’s not worth it to wing it and then get diarrhea.”
Mixed Reactions from Viewers
Not everyone was convinced. Some TikTok users commented they would continue washing chicken, claiming they clean their sinks afterward.
Dr Sam, however, stands by his warning — and says it’s a risk that’s just not worth taking.
