Do you wash raw chicken before cooking it?
I've asked two people, one says you're supposed to and the other says it's not a good idea. What's the deal?

4. I rinse it and pat it dry.
Just a habit.

5. Whole chickens and chicken pieces with skin I wash. Always.
Skinless breasts I don't.

Washing gets rid of the leftover blood and coagulated icky things and freshens it up a little bit.

6. Yes, always...
I wash chicken, skin or no skin & meat. The thought of what it's been laying around on before packaging is :scared:
