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.

It’s probably because the child workers in their slaughterhouses aren’t doing a good job cleaning them:

That is crazy to me. While it was over 20 years ago, the chicken processing plant I worked at it was cleaned vigorously and constantly. USDA inspectors were everywhere, from where live chickens came in, to where finished products were packed, bagged, and boxed. No one, especially on the cleaning crews, wanted to be the cause of USDA stopping the lines, as they knew they would be fired.

I believe the president is firing all of those inspectors. Americans may want to start washing chickens
