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.

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.

I thank you for saving me the trouble of looking up the wikipedia article for the plot synopsis.
