Purchasing and Storage:

  • Purchase chicken from reputable suppliers who adhere to food safety standards.
  • Store chicken at or below 40°F (4°C) in a clean, designated refrigerator.
  • Thaw frozen chicken in the refrigerator, under cold running water, or in the microwave using the defrost setting.

    • Preparation:

  • Wash hands thoroughly with soap and water before handling chicken.
  • Use separate cutting boards and utensils for raw chicken and other foods.
  • Cook chicken to an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) as measured by a food thermometer.
  • Do not cross-contaminate cooked chicken with raw chicken or other uncooked foods.

    • Serving:

  • Serve chicken hot and immediately after cooking.
  • Keep cooked chicken at or above 145°F (63°C) until served.
  • Discard any leftover chicken that has been held at room temperature for more than 2 hours.

    • Additional Tips:

  • Avoid using wooden cutting boards for chicken, as they can harbor bacteria.
  • Clean and sanitize all surfaces and equipment that come into contact with chicken.
  • Train staff on proper food handling practices.
  • Follow all local and state food safety regulations.

    • Consequences of Improper Handling:

    Improper handling of chicken can lead to foodborne illnesses such as salmonella and campylobacteriosis. Symptoms can include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and abdominal pain. In severe cases, foodborne illnesses can be life-threatening.
