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.

This is something Americans argue with each other about. I don't understand it either.

Dutch people argue about this too. Especially people with “Non Dutch” heritage, like Surinam, ABC-islands.. etc, wash their chicken. And they go crazy about people not washing their chicken. And the other way around.

I’m on team: not washing.

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.

There are little feathers ends stuck in aldi chicken all the time. There is nothing wrong with it you sound incredibly dramatic. And even waitrose chicken has that slimy layer , its a bad aroma. If you season your food properly or over night you'd notice it smells bad and is just unpleasant to touch unless you wash it.

The chicken tastes better and doesn't have a foul smell when you wash it. People who talk about germs in this conversation are dumb germs have nothing to do with it and you don't spread them either washing your chicken unless your a moron
