He additionally risked cross-contamination when he transferred chicken to the fryer without washing his hands after handling raw chicken.

I think a bath in a 375° vat of oil will take care of any "cross contamination".

Thanks for pointing out the obvious lack of knowledge of the writer. As a fast-food alumnus in chicken-frying, I can say I did exactly the same thing with bare hands multiple times a day. Our chicken recipe was a double-dip in the breading mix with a trip through a buttermilk solution in between the breading then about 15 minutes in the hot oil.

This point could be a case of bad writing; perhaps he was transferring chicken FROM the fryer to the "cooked and waiting to be served" bin?

Just a guess on my part in the context of all the other stupid arrogant reckless conduct on this guy's part.

You know the type, he was thinking he was saving a penny here or there when he used a dirty utensil or his own hands (GROSS!) or whatever. "No, it costs money to run the dishwasher, see, I'll use this dirty spatula but I'll wipe it off on my pants first and everything will be fine."
