Food safety tips
Always wash your hands, work surfaces, utensils and chopping boards before you start and after handling raw meat, including poultry. Keep raw meat away from ready-to-eat foods such as salad, fruit and bread. Make sure that the chicken is cooked until steaming hot all the way through, that no pink meat is left and that any juices run clear.
