I'm curious as to who started the chicken rinsing myth.
FDA?
Or the now famous Serve Safe More recent), which in my belief, was created to push small Mom & Pop places out of business.
And who ho started Serve Safe? You may think congress.
But it was the big chains, who lined congress pockets, with contributions, that got it passed. Then kept adding to it until it became too costly for small one owners to tolerate.
Is there some truth mixed in to food safe guidelines. Yes.
But there is a bunch of flapdoodle in it too. Flapdoodle really is a word. LOL
Let me ask this. Where is most of the food poisonings coming from?
Chains & large food processors!
Only a small percentage is from home cooked food, or small restaurant's. And yes, if good safety (common sense), isn't practiced, it can happen anywhere.
But I'll trust my crappy pet dandered kitchen to any restaurant chain. And for heaven sake, I also use well water without chlorine!
WHEW!
OK. Who pushed my button? LOL
Sorry for the rant, but I guess it had to come out.
I'm all for safety, but am against nonsense over the top safety, enforced on us these days.
I think common sense is sufficient.
Do they still teach common sense at home, or in schools anymore, without consulting the government rules?

So as you've guessed by now.... I don't rinse my chicken anymore. <sheepish grin>
I used to, when it became news many years ago, but not anymore. It tastes better without it.
And for real chicken taste,
buy from a farmer who lets his chicken run around the yard to eat bugs, worms, weeds, grass, sand. gravel, and such.
Ewww... Gross! Right?
That chicken may need a little more time in the pan, or pot, but flavor will be 1000 times better than Tyson's, or any store bought!
SRY... I thought my rant was done. LOL A little bit more leaked out it seems.
