Is normal soap all I need?

Recently I read rinsing the chicken usually spreads more the bacteria we’re trying to kill by cooking it, and I’ve been doing this in the sink.

So I’m wondering if even without rinsing the chicken the knives, cutting boards, even just my hands touching the raw chicken could be also spreading bacteria after washing them with only soap.

    Normal soap should be enough to clean your hands and kitchen tools. I believe the issue with rinsing chicken in the sink is that the water can splash little droplets around very easily, and those droplets can have the chicken bacteria in them, thus spreading bacteria around your sink area.
