No, you should not use soap to clean raw chicken. Using soap or any other cleaning agents can leave harmful residues on the chicken, which can be dangerous if ingested. Additionally, washing raw chicken can spread bacteria like Salmonella and Campylobacter to other surfaces in your kitchen through splashing water1.

The best practice is to cook chicken thoroughly to an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) to kill any harmful bacteria1. If you feel the need to clean the chicken, you can pat it dry with paper towels instead.
