Part 4: Safe Raw Poultry Handling Guidelines

Instead of rinsing raw chicken under the faucet, follow these safe food preparation steps:

• Pat Dry with Paper Towels: Gently blot excess liquid off raw chicken using disposable paper towels, then immediately throw them in the trash.
• Use Dedicated Cutting Boards: Keep raw poultry on a plastic or composite cutting board reserved exclusively for raw meats to prevent cross-contamination.
• Wash Hands Immediately: Wash your hands thoroughly with warm water and soap for at least 20 seconds after handling raw poultry.
• Sanitize Surrounding Surfaces: Spray countertops, sinks, and faucets with a food-safe disinfectant after prepping raw meat.
