Is normal soap all I need?

Recently I read rinsing the chicken usually spreads more the bacteria we’re trying to kill by cooking it, and I’ve been doing this in the sink.

So I’m wondering if even without rinsing the chicken the knives, cutting boards, even just my hands touching the raw chicken could be also spreading bacteria after washing them with only soap.

    Don’t rinse your chicken.

    Use soap on your kitchen items.

    Don’t let fear overcomplicate a simple process.

      Yup diligent soaping and rinsing of kitchen area and utensils afterwards. Take care to no hold other things when you have not washed your hands after handling the chicken.

      No special soap no special rituals needed. Just simple diligent hygiene. Nothing we haven’t known and practiced before.
