I didn't read the article, but if you are going to rinse your chicken, I'd suggest putting water in the sink and rolling it around in that water to avoid splashing, followed by a good cleaning of the sink. I'm not sure what rinsing accomplishes though, if there is salmonella in the bird, running cold water over it isn't going to help.
I'm a bit cautious about raw chicken though, I don't often rinse, but I do usually open the chicken in the sink then give the sink a good cleaning when I'm done. I use a plastic cutting board that goes into the dishwasher.
Oh, the Daily Mail has just woken up to the bleedin' obvious has it? Not a quality newspaper our DM.
It gets rid of the "slime" from being in the package.
I am a self-admitted chicken washer. As Zagut said, it gets rid of unwanted "things." I also bleach the heck out of the sink and surrounding area afterwards.
I'm lucky in that my chickens don't come sealed in plastic bags. I get mine from the "proper" butcher who kills his own (and his beef, pork and lamb as well).It gets rid of the "slime" from being in the package. I also use the precaution of opening the package at the store. This prevents a return trip, which used to happen before I got smart. Have had several packages that reeked when opened at home. Just because the store is Publix, doesn't mean you can't get bad chicken.
