What? All over your kitchen? What are you doing? Playing with it like a kid splashing in a bathtub?
A thin stream of running cold water over a sink to rinse away the "fecal soup" that chicken and chicken parts are drenched in during slaughter should not get bacteria "all over your kitchen". Heat can kill bacteria, but doesn't kill that "flavor" undertone.
