Can you cook raw chicken w sauteed onions?

* Food safety: Raw chicken carries bacteria like Salmonella that can cause food poisoning. Sauteing the onions alone does not kill these bacteria.

* Cross-contamination: The onions can absorb bacteria from the raw chicken if they are cooked together before the chicken is fully cooked.

To cook chicken and onions safely:

1. Cook the chicken thoroughly: Always cook chicken to an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) to kill harmful bacteria.

2. Cook the onions separately: Saute the onions until softened before adding the cooked chicken.

Important Note: Never use the same utensils or cutting board for raw chicken and other foods without thoroughly washing them in between.
