"When it comes to chicken, I treat it like poison every time I cook it. Wash hands, Clorox the cutting board. Clorox/Lysol spray the counter tops. Utensils in the dishwasher."

You are the one!

This!

But I would add two more: Clean as you go. Wash hands and surfaces in-between each process. Easier for me to do everything on one prep surface and just keep cleaning that. I like having the kitchen clean and all the prep dishes done when I serve the meal.

“Clean as you go. Wash hands and surfaces in-between each process.”

Yup. I do all of that with chicken. Wash hands X10, I guess. And I’m so paranoid about chicken that I tend to overcook it, just to be safe.

I don’t totally clean the kitchen before a meal, though, as DH does the clean-up.

I don’t cook but i used to be a surgeon.
