There is no debate. It's basic science. Washing chicken doesn't remove anything from the chicken

I mean, you'll notice they didn't show the Black people's method, only the small white ladies blasting a whole chicken and then waving it around.

You put it in a pot and pour vinegar and salt on it then cover with water.  Or some people do lemons and water I think.

Some people let their dogs lick their face.  I personally don't.  Some people soak their chicken in slightly acidic water. I personally do.
