Chicken Salad Tips -

Cooking Chicken Thoroughly

It is very important to cook chicken thoroughly so that any bacteria are killed. Chicken is more inclined to bacteria than some other types of meat because:

·Chicken meat is not very dense, so the bacteria travel more easily through it.

·When chickens are slaughtered and the feathers removed, bacteria can enter through the open pores.

·The way chickens are processed encourages and spreads the growth of bacteria.
