[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Here's what I do

1) do not wash it. The splashes from the chicken presents more risk than not washing.

2) just wash you hands thoroughly with hot soapy water.

3) I use a large plastic cutting board that I rinse and scrape with the knife I used in prep. Then it goes right in the dishwasher with everything else.

4) I use paper towels to do the initial wiping, then use Clorox wipes.

This. Washing the chicken is old-school. It doesn't do anything for the final outcome and splashes germy water everywhere. 
I just do my prepping and then wash my hands before touching anything else (minimal contact with the faucet handle.) You might find you need to wash your hands several times as you switch between the touching the chicken and, say, opening a drawer for a knife you forgot you needed. 
Anything that can go in the dishwasher should. Everything else should be washed in hot water and dish soap. I also use hot water and dish soap on the counters with a dish rag that then goes in the laundry. Make sure you wash the faucet handle, too. I do not bother with the sterilize setting on the dishwasher or with using disinfectant on the counters. Once they are washed and dried, they are fine.[/quote]
