It affects the taste. There is a HUGE difference for me between a rinsed and unrinsed bird.

Hmmm, interesting. I've never noticed a taste difference. Maybe I should try rinsing again sometime and really pay attention to see if I can notice a difference. So do you then disinfect the sink afterwards?

Yes, and I already disinfect my sink at a minimum once per day. Lately, it's been more like four times a day.

What do you use to disinfect it?

Brillo pads, boiling water, vinegar and peroxide.

Okay, thanks. I've been using vinegar but I wasn't sure if that was enough to do hard-core disinfection. So you just spray vinegar and peroxide on there, scrub, and then rinse with the boiling water?

I have OCD, you know. You don't wanna do to your sink what I sometimes feel compelled to do to mine. At the end of it all, I make sure it's completely dry, since the bugs require water to live, and I leave it dry overnight.

Thanks for all the advice ladies! It turned out REALLY GOOD!!!! And I'm not too traumatized by what I witnessed coming out of the b*tt (or neck, or whatever it was!)

Oooh I'm glad I read this thread. I've never ever not even once bought a whole bird cause I thought they had to be rinsed and there's just no way I'm splashing raw chicken germs all over my sink. I can't STAND touching poultry. I use gloves even getting the individually quick frozen ones out of the bag in the freezer.

I might have to try cooking one and not rinsing. I seriously doubt my husband would notice (and he's the only one who will eat it.)

Yeah, go for it! I'm totally skeeved by the thought of all those germs all over my sink too. I'd have to disinfect for a looooooong time until I felt "safe" again. I've never noticed any taste difference. I have perfected the art of cooking a whole chicken without ever touching it raw. I hate touching raw chicken.

Okay, but I am COMPLETELY traumatized reading this thread. We're talking YEARS of therapy with a vegetarian-sensitive therapist.

Thanks Elayne

Turn on water in a steady stream not a spray, open freezer container next to sink, have roasting pan next to sink as well, rip plastic off chicken, let drain, pull out giblets, plop into freezer container, let water run through chicken neck-to-vent, gently turn chicken under water to get it all wet, let drip for a moment into sink, put into roasting pan (I never pat the chicken dry if I don't plan to put a crispy coating on it), thoroughly rinse hands and use soap under fingernails, turn off water, pick up plastic wrapping/tray in paper towels or washable kitchen towel to prevent drips, dispose of it, cover giblets and freeze for later use (usually stock), heat kettle of water while sprinkling chicken with salt and brushing with melted butter, pour boiling water into sink, roast chicken. Done. Takes ten minutes while the oven is pre-heating, and there are no salmonella bacteria left behind.

Sorry, but I can't believe you haven't already been traumatized by the carnivorous habits of your DH!!
