POV: You’re cooking chicken

Me though - literally. I’m also notorious for overcooking chicken for fear it is even SLIGHTLY undercooked.

Glad it’s not just me

Unpopular opinion but the chicken bacteria is so overhyped.

It’s rare to get from chicken, though it does happen. It’s mostly a texture thing for me, the thought of germs just doesn’t help

Pretty much🤣 I'm glad it's not just me.😅

I get so grossed out handling raw meat, but chicken is, by far, the worst for me

People are this freaked out by chicken? Find your local farmer people. Healthy chickens don't shed things like salmonella. And frankly you should be a lot more worried about all the chemicals they fill it with before they sell it to you. I wonder if even salmonella survives that toxic soup.

It’s a texture thing for me mostly, but the thought of bacteria doesn’t help

Grocery store chicken has a nasty texture too I'll agree

Even when I’ve slaughtered chicken myself, there’s a film I don’t like, but it’s mostly some from the store can be really slimy

It’s mostly a texture thing, and poultry has that film. Just eww🤢😂

It is narsty! I used to be a germ phobe! After my 3rd boy I just gave up caring! 😭🤣

I think I’ll just keep wearing gloves to touch chicken….and now probably boys 😂😂

🤣🤣🤣👍

Nvm. I think they call those condoms😂🤪

Dude 😂 this is me 100%

Me too 🤣😂

You’re knowing too much of my habits. I will turn the surveillance cams off 🤣🫶🏼

I even wear gloves sometimes. Raw meat grosses me out, but chicken is, by far, the worst for me

Now imagine I was cutting chickens throat with my grandpa from his farm. Nowadays It grosses me out, but even so I would plug and cut one a day if my life depended on it 🤔😂

100%! Except today. I prepped ribs this morning, and instead of doing my usual decon between steps, I just threw all of my trash in the sink for the end and untouched everything 😂 After I did one clean step. 😅 These are big steps for me, a trained microbiologist 😂

But they were ribs, which is slightly tolerable, not chicken. Micro was a favourite subject in college, and I loved my teacher, though she was tough. I loved staining slides of random objects I had cultured. She let me hang out in her labs, even after I passed her classes. She was the hardest teacher I had I college, but also the coolest. She was from a small village in Africa, Nigeria I think, and when we got to the nematodes, she had lots of personal, very colourful, stories to share with us. I was equal parts grossed out and fascinated by worms lol

Totally me😂🤣

@faithmaycreate I have OCD, so pretty much. My poor hands are so torn up!

🤣🤣 Relatable. I wash my hands relentlessly when cooking any meat.

I hate the texture of raw meat, but chicken is the worst. That film makes you think it’s marinating in salmonella even though it isn’t, which doesn’t help either. My mum has teased me about my reaction to meat (but especially chicken), since I was 7, and had run out of the kitchen to puke when some raw chicken was wedged under my fingernails. I wear disposable gloves whenever possible now🤦‍♀️😂

Yep. I got salmonella from cooking chicken at home one time, and it took me a MONTH to get my digestion back to normal. 😭 Raw chicken is basically poison.

I’ve never gotten it at home, and don’t intend to start now. It’s also a texture thing for me. Chicken has a film, fresh or from the store🤢

Beef is always my go-to. You never have to worry about beef. It tastes way better and has a lot more nutrients anyways! Most chicken is low-quality due to their diet and living conditions. Same with pork.

@MarieIsabellaB Mad cow says what?

@MarieIsabellaB @grok compare foodborne illness in the U.S. from beef compared to chicken.

This is so relatable, I honestly can't believe there is a skit about this!!

There’s a skit/meme/video about anything you can imagine. If I don’t find something I want, I just make something

❤️

💯🤣

I've never related to something so hard in my life.

You and me both

Seeing all these comments, but I'm like, where's the bleach spray for the countertops, floor, scissors, cutting board??

That comes afterwards. I have a spray bottle with diluted bleach water that I use. Also for the trash can

@choopanam

Give your black friends to help u….🤣🤣

Are you kidding?!? Some of them are the same way, and wash their hands as much as I do when prepping chicken. In fact, I’d even say one of my black friends is worse than I am(and I’ll tell her I said that)🤣😂

😂😂😂

Buy disposable gloves

I actually do that, and usually use them unless I’ve run out. It helps, but it’s also a texture thing

@alove_1980 This is me 🤣🤣🤣

@alove_1980 And me….sometimes with gloves😂

@alove_1980 🤣🤣🤣

Chicken is scary but pork is scarier

Chicken bothers me more, but it’s more about the texture for me. It’s not the same, either, with one being a parasitic worm (pork) bs bacterial (chicken), and I few like chicken juice gets everywhere easier, but idk 🤷‍♀️

i shudder to think how some of ya'll caught salmonella, have handled thousands of raw chickens bare handed and never once had it

It’s chickens that have been butchered in factories that have more of a chance. It’s small, but you only have to get it once to never forget it. It’s more a texture thing for me, but the thought of germs doesn’t help. I don’t like the texture of any raw meat, but chicken is the worst for me, by far

i felt the same way and used to wear gloves with any meat i handled. after so long working with it in a kitchen and then meat dept i got desensitized because gloves just became an inconvenience if washing properly. im sorry if you had it and hope i never do.

Missed a chance to add this scene after looking at the chicken

I just dip myself and the chicken in a lye solution. Sodium hydroxide, a clean you can feel! 🤣seriously though, don't do that, that is for bagels and pretzles.

I knew you were joking, but this is the internet, and idiots abound😂

lol accurate

That cracked me up! My hubby is exactly like that 😂

My dad and I are both like that with chicken😂

@Rothmus Chickens are gross. Love eggs tho

@TalFord7

Literal soy yo cada q toco carne cruda! Me da una cosa 🤢

The texture is awful🤢

Who’s filming me in my kitchen…😂

I feel attacked and seen all at once 😂

Yes and yes!!!

Same with eggs…

I’ve gotten better with eggs, and wash my hands less, but am grossed out by them, too. They have the consistency of snot

I grab them from the fridge and put them on the counter. Wash hands. Grab other things go back to eggs to break and whip. Wash hands. Whip, mix with ingredients while pan heats, drop on pan… wash hands… and so on and on…

@BrittnieHeywood soooo true

Average millenial

Except I’m not, and many in the comments aren’t, yet they resonated. My 90 year old Nana is the same. May wanna rethink that statement😂

ого! я думала это только у меня так, стеснялась рассказать )

@yetanothed Not just you. Lots of people in the comments as well😆

это конечно потрясающий опыт ) спасибо Маску за это )

Это я

Me too😆😆
