The internet is the birthplace of many great debates. We’re all still trying to figure out if the dress was black and blue or white and gold, for example. Most recently, the internet has spawned some major debates over the handling of raw chicken.
In the past few months, there’s been a lot of talk on Twitter about how to properly prepare chicken. It all started a few months ago when a woman live-tweeted her coworker bringing a bag of raw chicken to an office potluck. He fried the bare chicken and proceeded to touch things around the office with his hands after handling the raw chicken, never stopping to wash them.
As the conversation expanded, it became clear that many people have different feelings about whether or not you should wash chicken before preparing it. This led the CDC to come forward with their definitive stance on the subject.
