Question
Is a tray of chicken I buy at the store ready for cooking right away? Or should it be washed with hot water?
Answer
Shalom u'vracha
From a halachic perspective, there is no need to wash.
[It might be advisable from a health perspective to wash, but this is also not mentioned in the legal instructions].
