The United States Department of Agriculture advises against the
practice of rinsing poultry or meat before cooking it. It runs the
risk of spreading bacteria on your sink, countertop and utensils where
it can be further spread.

Cooking at the correct temperatures kills any harmful bacteria.

Maybe some of us just want to wash the **** off the bird instead of
simply cooking it long enough to make it "safe".

This makes me wonder how they "wash" their birds, with a pressure
cleaner?
You are going to expose your kitchen surfaces to the bacteria as soon
as you take the bird out of the bag from the store. The answer is to
clean the surfaces.

BTW do you use those reusable bags? How often do you wash them and how
do you wash them?
To the contrary of what you hear, your dryer is probably not going to
get the contents hot enough to kill all of the bacteria, particularly
on the "energy saver" setting.

I've been in a chicken processing plant. It's really, truly nasty.
