Yes, cooking chicken thoroughly can effectively kill Salmonella bacteria. Salmonella is commonly found in raw poultry, including chicken, and it can cause foodborne illness if ingested. However, by cooking chicken to the appropriate internal temperature, which is 165°F (74°C), you can destroy Salmonella and make the chicken safe to eat. It’s important to ensure that all parts of the chicken reach this temperature to effectively eliminate any harmful bacteria.
