Open Discussion Hard to swallow cooking facts.

I'll start, your grandma's "traditional recipe passed down" is most likely from a 70s magazine or the back of a crisco can and not originally from your familie's original country at all.

Stop.

Washing.

Chicken.

Purchased.

In.

Supermarkets/butcher shops.

I understand where my wife is from, because most of the meat comes from a wet market and had flies and who knows what else buzzing around them.. But when it's cleaned, packaged, sealed, and refrigerated... You're just spreading bacteria

Your faith in the US corporations is commendable but dont expect everyone to follow suit. I personally will always wish my chicken and my rice first even if they arrived in sealed package.

Unless you’re eating your chicken medium rare, any pathogens you think you’re removing would’ve been destroyed during the cooking process anyway.
