Well, that will make preparing a roasted chicken easier.

They are slimy, too. I’m washing mine. They can leave the damn feathers on too if they want to....

Do like my Dad did the one time he had to change my diaper, take it outside and take the hose to it (and stand back).

I almost posted something literal-minded and vapid about cooking chicken, but I’ve been on FR almost 11 years and I knew better.

Funny headline bump.

[humblegunner]

Chicken washing is racist just like when Paula Deen shot Trayvon.

I kinda' wondered why we do it, even though I do it just because "everyone else" does. I don't wash beef or pork, but I do rinse fish.

Since I no longer trust anything the government says and will always assume they are lying to me (for whatever reason), I will continue to rinse chicken before cooking.

I sure am glad to find this out now, after having cooked chickee for aver 30 years. I never washed the chicken first, it seemed “dirty” to do so. My instinct was correct.

My favorite two words together: “Chicken Sushi!”

That's why slaughterhouses should all use Rectite

Aside from the cramps, fever, and uncontrollable diarrhea, what’s so bad about Salmonella, anyway?

[WorkingClassFilth]

What about the blood, slime and bits of gunk from the processor that handled your bird after scratching his butt?

[TigersEye]

Couldn't I make just one little joke about this?

[cripplecreek]

I gave my love a dirty chicken....

[Political Junkie Too]

Freshly machine plucked chickens are washed at the processing plant in what some call fecal soup, then dried off and wrapped. I roast a lot of whole chickens and they get rinsed off and the kidneys removed along the backbone. Just don’t spray water all over the place when washing the bird.

[ViLaLuz]

I bought some chicken a while back... When I took it out of the package, the underside had a big black and white splotch of poop. I’m washing the chicken.

Saw a 60 minutes (20 years ago gimme a break).They tested about a dozen items in a kitchen for bacteria. They tested counter tops, sink, silver and pots and pans in their cabinets and also several foods. The item with the least tested contamination was the raw chicken.
