Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Do you wash chicken before cooking?

Hell no

I still use wood, I'll probably die of Salmonella-19.

🤣

Season....dont wash.

From fowl or from poultry?

I will usually wash full chicken wings, if I have to rip out large pin feathers on them....Otherwise, no.

I do wash my hands and anything that got used during prep of the chicken.

Food poisoning from chicken ain’t fun. Yellow squirts for 7 days. Yeehaw cowboy 🤠

Clorox wipes.

Just lace a dil-do with arsenic and SandBilly is toast.

no. why would you? chicken gets cooked to like 900 degrees. if anything you oughtta be washing steak or something that is eaten rarer. i blame the teevee for this kind of horschit. buncha purple haired queers cooking froo froo dishes and smearing them with some kind of weird swirly sauce and calling it fancy.

Food poisoning is no joke- - - - - -first you're afraid you're going to die- - - - - -then you're afraid you won't! Poisoning from undercooked food is bad, but spoiled food is worse. I once got the first scoop off the top of a pot of chili that had been sitting around on a steam table too long, and those rotten beans put me in the hospital for three days!

I give steaks, roasts, pork butts, and other cut meat a good washing to get rid of the bone chips the butcher's band saw left, not because I'm concerned about getting poisoned.

Yes, always

Sometimes we get chicken that has stuff on it. Especially leg quarters.
I'm gonna wash that off. DGAF what anyone says.


Wife maintains Serfs Safe qualifications, the issue isn't about your
chicken. Washing won't hurt it at all. It's about splashing the
chicken contaminated water. So don't use the sprayer, and keep the
The flow at flush, instead of pressure wash.


And clean your sink and counters.


Everyone is always perfect. Cleaner than the next guy, more careful.
And it's so common to hear people blast resturaunts for making
people sick. Most food poisoning come from homes.
Restaurants, are designed to much better to eliminate issues.
How many homes have a 3 sink setup? Or use sanitizer?
Or, ever temp check their water with a thermometer.
Rules and design do not determine outcome, but it's a start.



Yep, contradicted myself here.
And that, illustrates the second point!

Unless you eat it half raw, the heat will kill anything dangerous in it.

I nearly killed my deer camp with a Thanksgiving meal about 25 years ago. I put a bird in the oven at O'dark thirty and we went huntin. We got back after dark and the oven never lit. So I goosed it to 480* and let 'er rip. Red thing popped after a little more than an hour. Served it up with some fixins' quick because the boys were hungry. About 10pm we had a line at the only bathroom with it coming out at both ends. Some couldn't wait and were out back. Ran out of TP. Most bugged out by 1am for the 3 hr trip home - stopping along the way to take care of business. Only person out of 8 guys that didn't get sick was my dad who wouldn't eat poultry because of a bad experience doing KP in the service with chicken in 55 gal drums. We haven't had turkey or chicken in camp since then. They are also kind enough to remind me every year how they narrowly escaped death.

Would like to hear the lemon pepper wings recipe if you got a chance.

Just to be clear, I did not mean with soap. Cold water like Mike said. Sheesh

Some beef needs the bone from processing removed too.

Ok, I haven’t picked one yet but I’ll let you know.
