The FDA doesn’t recommend it, and I am more inclined to trust them instead of a single professor. If you really do it in a different room there should be not be any contamination, but in my opinion it is bad practice anyway. It’s much safer just to cook the chicken to the right temperature. But maybe you can point us in the right direction if this should be handled differently in bigger kitchens, like you said.
