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!’
That is how I do it. When I put in a new kitchen sink, I got an extra deep double sink largely with chicken and other meats that I grill, BBQ and smoke in mind. I wanted an easily cleanable work area that would contain the splatters. The new sink is big enough to rinse off my brined turkey and stuff it without making a mess.
