Beyond Water: How to Properly Clean Chicken to Avoid Bird Flu and Bacteria

• Washing chicken with just water is insufficient; it doesn't remove bacteria like Salmonella and Campylobacter.
• These bacteria can cause serious illnesses, especially in vulnerable groups, leading to fever, vomiting, and septicemia.
• Remove chicken from packaging, wipe with a paper towel, then wash thoroughly with warm water and turmeric.
• Soak chicken in a solution of vinegar and lemon or salt water for 10-15 minutes to kill bacteria and remove odor.
• Always remove chicken skin, use chicken breast, and maintain strict hand hygiene and kitchen sanitation to prevent bacterial spread.
