The only time I wash chicken is after cooking it, and when I drop it on the floor and thing "eh, I can still eat this"
me neither (ive never prepared any chicken)
Lots of people really do.
Losing taste is one thing, but it can actually be dangerous by spreading salmonella&friends.

My mom has always made me "wash chicken," which would just be running it under water. Just chicken, nothing else.
I used to do it out of habit, but laziness seems to have worked in my favor this time.
As a middle aged person who is generally healthy, I’ve never washed chicken. On a side note, we eat chicken weekly. I’ve not experienced diarrhea, or been really sick, or died post chicken eating. I could safely say 1/2 of the days of the year, at least, involve basic butcher parted out chicken, and it is delicious.
Washing a backyard/farm chicken post killing/plucking to remove blood and debris, sure. But what is the logic behind this strange internet trend?
