How do I get rid of bad smell in kitchen sink?

I think my ds might have poured raw chicken juice down the sink in the kitchen, and it smells so bad I was heaving. I tried bi carb and white vinegar. What else can I try? Thanks

Unscrew the u-bend bit of pipe underneath the sink? Usually collects a lot of food debris and smelly “gunk” over time so probably needs a good rinse out

Bleach.

Try pouring boiling water down the sink - this will start to dislodge any chicken grease.

Not very eco but bleach if nothing else works.

my sink was smelling bad and I did all of the suggestions but to no joy. It turned out that the outside drain was blocked and stinking. Unblocking that did the job.

Yes, this. Ours started leaking slightly so disconnected it and it was absolutely grim, black, brown and gungy
