I understand rinsing off that layer of goo that comes with chicken but there is no "cleaning" chicken.:mjlol:

All store bought chicken has salmonella and no amount of "cleaning" will get rid of it and you're more likely to spread salmonella in your kitchen fukking around thinking you're cleaning it with fukking limes and vinegar.



Focus on cooking your chicken to 165 degrees and thoroughly cleaning your food prep area.:ufdup:

Right. All my life until later in adulthood i washed chicken because that is what was done in my immediate plus extended family. Once i found out about how running water spreads bacteria, i stopped immediately.

:jbhmm:

If you saw someone take chicken straight out the pack and cook it, you'd probably vomit.

Yet ground beef can go straight into the skillet from the wrap and you wouldn't bat an eye.
If you smart you go to a butcher shop and watch them make their grind portions. Get your packs there. Any food processing step is an opportunity for contamination.

Easy way to dead this debate is to let someone see a cow kill vs a chicken kill and it should become apparent why. Just from the process of defeathering a bird vs skinning an animal with a hide.

you're not supposed to clean either meat. this is wild :duck:

as a matter of fact, cleaning meat, and especially chicken just spreads out the bacteria and is more likely to cause cross-contamination. :rudy:

All of you need to do is get intimate with your dead meat and go from farm to table then we can have this conversation with integrity. It's not about washing bacteria off.

Furthermore you don't need to use running water. Have a wash basin with some lemon and dip the shyt. You not splashing everywhere or none of that.

from the actual USDA

Should I wash chicken or other poultry before cooking?​

Aug 23, 2024

KNOWLEDGE ARTICLE
Washing poultry before cooking it is not recommended. Bacteria in raw meat and poultry juices can be spread to other foods, utensils, and surfaces. We call this cross-contamination. Some consumers think they are removing bacteria and making their meat or poultry safe through washing. However, some of the bacteria are so tightly attached that you could not remove them no matter how many times you washed. But there are other types of bacteria that can be easily washed off and splashed on the surfaces of your kitchen. Failure to clean these contaminated areas can lead to foodborne illness. Cooking (baking, broiling, boiling, and grilling) to the right temperature kills the bacteria, so washing food is not necessary. Using a food thermometer is the only sure way of knowing if your food has reached a high enough temperature to destroy foodborne bacteria.

What you are saying is not what people are communicating or experiencing. At least here in America, people "washing" chicken will do it under running water with the express purpose of supposedly getting rid of bacteria. What you do in a farm or back woods is your thing, but we are speaking about something completely different.

You don't clean and wipe down your counter with bleach after cooking?
I clean my kitchen every night. I only clean my chicken if it has extra shyt on it. Never been sick from or gotten someone sick from my own food in my life, and the science agrees with it, so I got no reason to switch it up, other than to not be accused of being white by mfs on the net:manny:
