wash his hands

Explanation:

When John cut the chicken to prepare it, he used his hands to hold the raw meat and use the necessary spices to prepare it. It all got John's hands dirty. John should not get his hands dirty to get on with his task, because that would mess up so many things and contaminate food. For this reason, John should wash his hands before starting to continue his activities.
