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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
LOL!!!....love it!!!
NEXT....the idiotic radio commercials that begin with a tone that cost us thousands of $$$....like, I sit next to you on the bus, next to you at work for years and you don’t know I have a hunger problem...blah, blah, blah....NOT, absurd nowadays as they’d put their hunger on facebook, etc.
also the one that almost makes me sick...the poo one...is your poo a funny color...a odd shape??...well then, you might have aldkaddklajodisosis (just typed some letters!) and call your physician immediately, don’t wait....blah, blah, blah.........
all brought to you by our government who is broke!
Or.... just don’t wash your chicken over other utensils and dishes!
I never wash my raw chicken, especially since I’ve started using them as bedding.
When I purchase a whole chicken I rinse one of the two bowls in the kitchen sink, then I cut/break down the chicken in the sink.
The pieces are transferred to a Rubbermaid container then salt and EVOO are added.
I shake this container every few minutes and add more EVOO and salt to ensure proper coverage.
Once the grill is ready...well you know the rest.
I clean the sink after breaking down the chicken.
This ‘news story’ reminds me of Emeril: ‘Oooh! The chicken police!’
As a former Hazmat team member I have always thought the way that most people prepare chicken is likely to contaminate their work area and other items on the menu. But because of the unsanitary practices that are prevalent most of us probably have stronger immune systems than we would otherwise.
It reminds me of all the overprotected kids that we have in the country today. I grew up with dogs, cats, horses, cows, pigs, goats, mules, donkeys, and other livestock, next to a busy road. Both of my parents worked and we had little supervision. We played in dirt, mud and manure all of the time. We had access to tractors, motorcycles, and even old trucks. We didn’t have any helmets. I have got so many lumps and indentations on the back of my head that when my hair falls out I am pretty sure people are going to be pointing and wondering what happened to me.
When I got my first 10 speed when I was 13 I rode it everywhere. One time I told my dad I was going to ride it up to Mount Rainier which was over 50 miles away. He said, “Fine.” I had all sorts of challenges on my adventure and didn’t make it back until long after dark. My parents just asked me if I had a good time.
I got in trouble with my daughter because when my grandson was six I taught him to write his name on a piece of sheet steel with a MIG welder and earlier in the day had set up a zip line with some bicycle handlebars that he had to climb up an extension ladder to use. At 17 he is still a rough and tumble kid who thinks that he is invincible and now I worry that I might have been a bit of a bad influence. But in general it is true that what doesn’t kill us makes us stronger.
Disposable bag... disposable bag...
Like... plastic?
What would I do without the government telling me what to do?...
Here is SW Pennsylvania, we have the opportunity to look for the Amish label for about a dime a pound extra.
All surfaces and cutting boards (non-porous) are then wiped with the same solution after washing with Dawn and 180° water. Chlorine bleach is my favorite potpourri. I've never had any instances of contamination or illness associated with food contamination in my household.
Lazy cooks should heed the CDC if they like. But for me...they can go p!$$ up a rope.
