Unwashed Chicken is totally safe if you do this one amazing trick.
Cook it properly.
If you don't know how to do that by sight or touch then buy yourself a instant read thermometer.
Washed chicken won't be any safer if it's undercooked, salmonella isn't a surface only danger, so you can remove the "unwashed" part at the beginning.
Washed chicken is a stupid concept, I was including the unwashed part because that is the default state of uncooked chicken.
Unless you accidentally drop a chicken on the floor and don't want to waste it, there isn't a reason to wash it.
And by washing it you might spread the salmonella all over the place.
Do people wash pork chops? steaks? hamburgers?
People of West Indian descent often wash meat like pork and beef with a vinegar solution, but not ground meat
I often wash my beef and pork with a vinegar mixture called mustard then scrub it with a dry abrasive spice mix before I put it on a smoker for a few hours before searing the outside for a few minutes.
I don't know how I survived before these meat washing times.
