Apparently washing your chicken was an old practice to "rinse the germs off". In reality it just sprays germs everywhere. I can't believe anyone thought it was a good idea.

Those things still exist. Heck they might come back in the US once food prices rise and the FDA is disbanded.

It's a leftover practice from days when standards were lower. Just like cooking pork to 165, it's not necessary anymore, but habits die hard
