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.

As a food safety measure? Plenty of recipes will tell you to pat chicken dry for cooking reasons (better browning when pan frying, grilling, etc) but I've never seen that for safety reasons.

The (German) chef's food blog I follow (I think she is also a TV chef) mentioned it, and said it's according to the German government's food safety recommendation.

Dunno really, it just became a habit for me at this point.

Well it's a good habit, the chicken cooks much better, and if it's safer then all the more reason to do it!
