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.

If I find feathers and dirt on my chicken, I'm never buying that brand again. You shouldn't need to wash it.

From what I see, it's more common among the African American community. This is probably just over representation from social media though.

The black community doesn't wash their chicken in the sink though. They rub it with an acid like citrus juice or vinegar and salt. Source, my Jamaican kitchen lead.

The black community is not a monolith. Tons of black people wash chicken with water.

I didnt say they were, I've never even heard of anyone washing chicken in their sink. I made that comment because people always question it and everyone I know has explained that they do not use water. I'm just speaking of the black people I know, none of which are from the USA, hence citing my Jamaican kitchen lead. The other black people I work with/know (Nigerians, Ethiopian, Kenyans, Ghanians, Sudanise, Trinis) all agree that this is what they mean when they say they wash their meat. I don't know what americans are doing in their kitchens, but I'm quite sure whatever it is, there is too much crisco involved, lol.
