Cook it well enough to avoid salmonella and other harmful bugs. Chickens can be quite dirty.

Sometimes live chicken can be inside. You just have to boil it long enough so as to avoid stories that touch.

Just cook long enough so that the yolk will get cooked or coagulate to avoid the risk of salmonella infection.
Re: How Long Do You Boil Your Eggs? (picture) by highoctane: 4:39pm On May 31
No jokes period.
To enjoy better egg yoke and every thing.
Add enough water to cover the eggs, bring to boil, add few drops of vegetable oil, preferably olive oil.
Add the eggs gradually with a spoon, boil more for 7 minutes.
Turn off the flame, bring out the eggs and run cold water over it for at least 30 seconds, allow to cool briefly and enjoy.
Rule 1: Don't soak your eggs after cooking in water, better strain off and allow it to cool.
