Ever been on a fishing boat? Don’t care if it is commercial or private.... food sanitation issues are not on the list of things to do.

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.

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.

I may be pilloried, but I have never washed my chickens...Therefore, I can’t recall EVER having anyone sick at my table from eating chicken cooked in any way.
In the meantime, I think God kept our ancestors alive REGARDLESS of the germs, bacteria, and otherwise deadly things that could have killed lots of folks.
We’re here because our ancestors were strong enough to combat whatever illness came their way.

Every bird I cook, I run water over it, rub kosher salt all over it, then rinse the salt off. Never had a problem.
The salt kills all of the germs -so I’ve been taught.

I’ve always used hot water not cold and I don’t spray the water all over the counter and myself. I think I’ll continue doing just what has worked well over the years.

Lynne Rossetto Kasper washes her chicken and that’s good enough for me.

What’s all this fuss about lashing your pickings.
If you don’t lash down your pickings they’ll blow out of the back of your truck.

I or my parents or grandparents never washed chicken. Never saw a reason to.

If your method of washing is spraying anything you’re doing it wrong. Nothing bad happens with a low pressure rinse off of things before you cook them.

Historically speaking, alot of our ancestors died precisely because of contaminated food.
We just happen to be the offspring of those who didn't "croak"
