First, think about where the chicken came from: your chicken likely came from a place called a 'butchering plant', where they first butcher the chicken, pluck it and drain the blood and other fluids out of the meat; all done by machine and hand.
Second, they have to package the meat, which is usually done in plastic. You never really know who or what has touched your meat, or the wrapping that it comes in.
Plus, any fluids that weren't drained from the meat will settle in the bottom of the package, and eventually thicken into something that seems like water-colored milk. All in all, it is altogether safer, healthier and more reassuring to wash all meat (with the exception of ground beef and certain sea foods) before cooking.

Can you rinse off hot sauce from chicken wings?
Yes. Rinse. DRY. Re-fry (not too long).
Should you wash your chicken before you bake it?
Yes, you should. It's always best to wash chicken before cooking it because the poultry processors dip them in vats of liquid to 'rinse' them, and it's been proven that the liquid isn't always as sanitary as it should be. So it's much better to be safe and rinse the chicken well to rid it of any residual rinsing liquid the processing left on it. If it's a whole chicken, be sure to rinse out the cavity (inside) of the chicken, too.

No. Chicken dropped on the floor is not safe to eat as is. If the chicken is raw, it could be rinsed off and cooked. If the chicken was cooked, I'd suggest tossing it - unless you want to rinse it off and re-cook it.
