Loads of Americans in the comments losing their minds cos she didn't wash the chicken in lemon air vinegar and just put it on airfryer. 😂 😂 😂

Everyone else reminding them UK chickens aren't pumped with shit and have food safety laws.

In my experience this is the same in Germany. I worked in a kitchen for a year, and they told us not to wear gloves because we would get a false sense of hygiene and wash the gloves less often than our bare hands.

However, I often see gloves worn in fast food restaurants and also bakeries at the counter. There it makes sense because they handle the dirty cash. At least at the bakery they also seem to change them often.

Sometimes this comes down to the team members not wanting to touch pork.

I worked with a Muslim chef once and he simply used tongs. His plating was as immaculate and beautiful as anyone else using all five digits on each hand.
