Oh for pete's sake.
Chickens are filthy creatures.I think every person on the planet should have to raise and butcher meat animals at some point, so we don't have to deal with this sort of hysterical nonsense.
at my house, this is how it went:
Butcher the bird (use an axe)
Boil a huge pot of water. Dip the bird in the boiling water. If you are doing multiple birds, that water is nasty. But the point isn't to clean the birds, but to loosen their feathers for plucking. Industrial processors throw some bleach in there to kill things like ecoli or salmonella, most likely, just as a precaution. It doesn't matter, because this is just the beginning of the process.
Pluck the chicken.
Singe the chicken
Gut the chicken
Wash the chicken again. This time under running water, we also use some soap just because. We used a scrub brush.
There you have it.
Yes, it's terribly alarming and dirty work to flap handed faggots who can't stand to look upon real life.
