Don’t wash your raw chicken! Washing can spread germs from the chicken to other food or utensils in the kitchen. https://go.usa.gov/xmTqz
The agency recommended placing raw chicken in a disposable bag before placing it in the shopping cart or refrigerator, washing hands with soapy water after handling it, using a separate cutting board to handle it, and never placing cooked food or fresh produce on the same surface as uncooked chicken.

Fried chicken and watermelon on a summer afternoon! As good as it gets.
Enjoy your meal.
Is that what the kids are calling it nowadays?
“The agency recommended placing raw chicken in a disposable bag before placing it in the shopping cart”
This recommendation flies in the face of the Tom-fools who want to ban single use plastic bags.
I rinse raw chicken in a bowl of water, then wash the bowl. If the CDC doesn’t like it they can pound sand.
Wash your own damn chicken!
All that stuff sounds like nothing morethan common sense to me. These gov agencies really do thing people are a bunch of morons.....although, having said that, It’s been my studied opinion that common sense ain’t so common any more.
LOL!!!
You mean! You mean! That Democrat was eating filthy chicken!
The horror.....the horror.....
Place the entire chicken in the garbage when you get home from the store. After washing of course.

You bring up a whole ‘nother subject. The Religion of Gorball Warming requires the existence of many demons. No demon is more frightening to the truly devout than (OMG!) shhhh... I only want to whisper the dread name.... p l a s t i c ... b a g s ...
I have to go pray to Gaia now, after posting this.
“in a disposable bag before placing it in the shopping cart”
AND it makes no sense whatsoever relative to the subject at hand. How do they think chicken is packaged at the store? Is every chicken just hanging there for the taking? That was the old, old days, but these days it’s already in a package.
Most people (1,000,000 yearly) get diaria and recover in 4-7 days.
So if we all DON'T wash the chicken...we can only speculate the result.
Sorry....I'll wash it just because it has been "handled".
Martha Stewart got salmonella poisoning and she raises her own critters.
But it was EnviroMentalists (TM) who insisted we needed plastic bags instead of paper back in the ‘80s.
Washing raw chicken used to be standard and I never understood that. If it had germs that would outlast cooking, a simple water wash wasn’t going to make a worthwhile difference anyway.
The environuts are find that people are buying the small 4 gal bags for things like dog poop and cat litter. These bags use ten to twenty times the plastic of a supermarket bag. Unintended results.

I remember that.
I am a witness.
Great word by the way: EnviroMentalists
Turns out those “reusable” shopping bags are bacteria factories themselves. The best for people and the environment is probably for us to revert to the days of paper bags (and even that paper stuff gets wrapped in in the meat and deli departments).
I’m 71, have been cooking chicken and turkey for years without poisoning myself or anyone else. I’ll continue to do what I like without the CDC’s advice.
I just put the raw chicken directly into an iron skillet and cut it there.
It purported will cause hair to grow on your palms.
