I think he's referring to how you handle the chicken ~ ie; handwashing so you don't contaminate everything you touch, such as the pepper shaker
Since you are such a big fan of pepper, you should try a fresh peppercorn grinder. Some of the spice companies are selling them as part of their packaging.

yeah some people over at bb.com was telling me about that salmonella contamination
I have been cooking my food like that forever and never had anyone talking about no contamination
