You should absolutely not wash your chicken, it is unnecessary and can splash bacteria around. Cook it to 165 F and youre 100% safe from bacteria.

    You want 150f for 3 min for white meat. 165 is unnecessary unless you flash cook it, and then put it in the fridge. 165 w8ll be tough and dry. https://blog.thermoworks.com/chicken-internal-temps-everything-you-need-to-know/

    Dark meat will be at like 170 when it cooks for flavor so you don't need to worry if it is cooked through it will be safe.

    For the lazy:

    • you want 65°C for three minutes
    • 75°C is unnecessary
    • dark meat will be at like 77°C

    For a freedom loving country they sure do love using imperial kingdom units

    We don't use "Imperial kingdom units." We use US Customary units which are different. Just like your "metric" system is different from SI.

    You mean like the imperial spanners I need to buy to fit bolts from the US?

    While it's possible to special order Imperial thread standard spanners, it's unlikely you are buying those. US Customary screw specifications are a separate thing, (have been so for over 100 years now), and have nothing to do with Imperial anything. There are some sizes that will fit, much as some metric wrench sizes will also fit US Customary and vice versa. But there are bunches of Imperial sizes that have no correlation to US Customary standards for machine screws.

    The particular lineage of the derivation of the standard isn't important so much as that it is arbitrary in the same way as imperial units. Not derived from physical constants, unlike SI (or older metric systems)
