What kind of regarded shitfuckery is washing chicken? What u washing off the bacteria that will die by the time the chicken reaches a safe temperature? This just seems like a good way to spread salmonella all over ur sink with no advantage.

Yeah, I remember seeing some clip of some British science woman and whatever, washing chicken is not only fucking dumv, but a great way to spread bacteria
Yeah it potentially splashes salmonella round everywhere.

taste like plain shit after
does homey not season his shit?
wash it so it tastes more plain
season it so it doesn't taste as plain
lol
if washing it removes all the taste then it wasn't chicken taste duder was removing, it was whatever random shit got on it in the slaughterhouse.

Seasoning must enhance the taste, not be the taste. Also most of the taste in chiken come from legs and skin.

"Good day Mr. meat butcher. Yes I would please today like five legs and skin thank you."

ITT: people who undercook their chicken think that washing is what's saving them when in reality, washing your chicken only enables a host of cross-contamination issues. Congratulations for turning your sink into a biohazard facility.
Red meat can be eaten rare, because even if the inside is raw, it's not usually contaminated by anything dangerous, while chicken meat has to be throughly cooked because it's the opposite... So washing the outside is useless.

Rinsing and scrubbing will spread micro droplets a lot further than your sink.

As a middle aged person who is generally healthy, I’ve never washed chicken. On a side note, we eat chicken weekly. I’ve not experienced diarrhea, or been really sick, or died post chicken eating. I could safely say 1/2 of the days of the year, at least, involve basic butcher parted out chicken, and it is delicious.
Washing a backyard/farm chicken post killing/plucking to remove blood and debris, sure. But what is the logic behind this strange internet trend?
I think it's just how boomers were raised. I'm middle-aged and I don't wash chicken, but my boomer mom is horrified at the thought. She came for a visit and made sure I washed the chicken before I cooked with it. 🙄

The idea would be that due to suspected unsanitary conditions in which mass-produced meat products are collected and transported, additional substances and materials not fit for consumption become attached and go unnoticed.
Washing would remove the extra stuff supposedly.
