Is normal soap all I need?

Recently I read rinsing the chicken usually spreads more the bacteria we're trying to kill by cooking it, and I've been doing this in the sink.

So I'm wondering if even without rinsing the chicken the knives, cutting boards, even just my hands touching the raw chicken could be also spreading bacteria after washing them with only soap.

It's weird but I can't think of the last time I bought a raw chicken? My wife did the math at one point and concluded it was cheaper to buy bbq from like Costco, cut it up, and toss it into whatever. And that's not even factoring energy costs to heat up an oven or anything. It is literally cheaper, at least where I live, to buy a pre-cooked chicken than raw. It makes no sense I know?

Rotisserie chicken is a loss leader. Meaning the store sells it at a loss hoping you will buy other stuff so they can still profit from your purchase.

Oh right. Now that I think of it, it's often somewhere near the back of the store, so you have to go past everything again to get to the checkout. Clever.

The opposite also happens sometimes, where they keep it near the front door so you smell it and come in hungry. Usually with smaller grocery stores

This might happen at Costco too since the food place is cheap and near the front

That is called a "loss leader". The idea is to give you a really good deal on the chicken because you will probably buy more things while you are there.

The thing the others mentioned plus maybe it's easier to hide imperfections in the raw chicken once cooked?
