I dont care what Billy Simpson and Kelly Miller has to say when he wrote this shit up. There's a reason I wash and clean my chicken. And its not to get rid of bacteria cause the stove/oven will do that.
Sometimes u buy chicken and there's extra skin, fat, feather, etc on it. Of course u cant kill certain bacteria on the chicken, but if I buy me chicken thighs and other parts, I may wanna get some of the frozen blood out, the extra fat (so my chicken isnt swimming in a pool of fat juice) and to cut the slime that is normally under the skin of the chicken. Toss an unclean chicken in the oven and one that is cleaned up and tell me there aint a diff in the final product. If i can reduce the amount of fat, blood, slime off of it, all the better.
I remember going to a BBQ once and seeing feather on the damn chicken, and another friend invited me over for dinner and I peeped the ASS of the chicken right there on the plate. I'm sry. I'm cleaning my chicken.
Now if ur making chicken breast, it dont need that much cleaning.
