Washing dirt of chickens

Q: There are some black things like dots on chicken meat when it comes from the market. If I wash the chicken thoroughly then the black thing like dots are removed, otherwise not. Is it necessary to wash out those black dots?

Also please guide how much a chicken should be washed?

Leaving out things that one is unclear of

Q: Some one sends through WhatsApp messages saying chicken (in a Muslim country ) is not halal by forwarding some videos where we can actually see chicken getting processed by a machine. The authorities in the Muslim country are acknowledging that they are seeing it to that the things for the public are halal and not importing the haram chikcen and meat etc. One of my friends stopped eating chicken after seeing the WhatsApp.

My question is whom to believe? Do we have to believe the WhatsApp video or the authorities who are taking responsibility of halal produsts. If we believe WhatsApp then tomorrow other videos will declare meat as haram, please advise.

Dipping chicken in hot water to remove the feathers

Q: In many places, the chicken is slaughtered and then tipped in to the hot water and then the feathers are removed. In all the chicken shops this is the method. Is it permissible to eat this before taking impure parts? Secondly, feather removed by hand instead of using hot water and then roasted to removed small leftover feathers before taking out impure parts, is it permissible?

Slaughtering chicken

Q: I want to ask that if during chicken slaughter, the head is mistakenly detached from the body, is the chicken halaal if it was slaughtered according to shariah? Secondly after how much time can it be cooked and prepared?
