For 50 years I have cooked Bell and Evans whole chickens. I take off the plastic, put it in the roasting pan ( remove the giblets) season and bake. I have never put them in the sink to sterilize? Never have gotten sick either. 

I will not eat chickens from an unknown origin nor will I eat chickens injected with sugar. Of course sugar makes anything taste delicious, thus the added ingredients.😉


@Trinity11 After you take off the wrapper, you have to touch the chicken and most likely the juice will touch your hands and the sink if you take the wrapper off in the sink.

 

Then you have to wash and disinfect the sink, the area around the sink if any droplets splashed, the faucet handle if your chicken drenched hands touched that, and on and on.  That all has to be disinfected and your hands scrubbed and scrubbed and under the nails before you touch any else.  

 

Chicken before it is cooked is nasty and dangerous for your kitchen cleanliness.


When I take the wrapper off there is no juice. Bell and Evans chickens aren't messy like that @Sooner . And I put the chicken in the roasting pan when I take off the wrapper. All I do is wash my hands after taking the wrapper off. I don't use the sink except to wash my hands afterwards. As a Type 1 diabetic for 50 years+, I have to be extra careful because of a suppressed immune system but I have never gotten sick from a chicken I baked myself.😄

Re: I Don't Know if I will Ever Cook Another Chicken

@Trinity11 I am not able to get that brand and I've never had a whole chicken that didn't have juice around it.  Lucky you, but I still don't like dealing with raw chicken.  Just me!  I've done too much of it in my long life, and avoid it when I can.
