Smiling Cat
If you can find a clean source for chicken I wouldn't worry too much about salmonella....When you buy ground meat, you can be getting the parts of 100 different animals, but if you grind your own, you know the source and handle it carefully, you should be fine....and YES, you need to add things. ( my friends and I who feed raw were wondering about the tainted gluten the chickens got fed....)
When a cat kills a bird or a mouse and really eats it, it will eat the whole thing..including the stomache which contains...green matter etc.
But I know a lot more about feeding dogs. I can get you some links you can trust where you can find the answers.

The only good thing to come out of that tragedy is that people are re thinking what they are feeding...and the next generations of pets will be healthier.
