That's normal. I do that too with frozen chicken.
Curious: Do Somalis Wash Chicken Before Cooking?

I think it does because in my house we do the same thing.
Wallahi, this is a creepy coincidence. Just today I brought up an old boss to someone and that old boss was a chap who one day for whatever reason got curious about who in the office washed their chicken before cooking it and who didn't.
I don't. My old boss' logic made some sense to me in that you're just introducing new microbes when you wash it with something like tap water and, in all seriousness, anything that could harm your gut is dead after being cooked at over 200 degrees Celsius/400 degrees Fahrenheit long enough as long as there wasn't some really funky stuff on it and you didn't basically cook a rotting chicken.

If it was rotting you’d smell and then throw it out anyway…atleast I hope but maybe some people like to wash bakhti then cook it
My family does this.
I wash it, it tastes better when washed. Also, sometimes there are feathers, bone pieces, blood, slimy pieces. Chickenga iska dhaqa!
Who said we straight up put oil and seasoning on it? We first cook the chicken, after it has cooked we season it and roast it.
I’m with your old boss. heat kills the bacteria not lemon or vinegar.
what is the point
Sxb dont drink water from your kitchen faucet, it is full of salmonella.
heat kills the bacteria not lemon or vinegar.
its still needs to be washed
You wash the sink afterwards? Cadaan propaganda ha dhagaysan, a sink is meant to be washed anyway.
Also, the western media hysteria about 'don't wash chicken' is ALL about the cleaning process afterwards. They keep screaming about 'spreading salmonella', as if people aren't supposed to disinfect their kitchen to begin with.
Plus, the other issue is cross-contamination, some people don't disinfect their hands after handling raw chicken.
So, the entire 'problem', is due to poor hygiene practises.

Be consistent and wash both
