bulletKeep it cold!
bulletGet the chicken home and in the coldest part of refrigerator ASAP (under 40°)  Mine is 35° -- do you know how cold yours is?  Keep it separated -- do not cross contaminate.
bulletKeep it clean.
bulletWash hands and surfaces often and sanitize.  (One Tablespoon of bleach to a gallon of water.)  Keep in a labeled spray bottle.  Use paper towels instead of cloth or sponge.
bulletCook and store properly.
