When cooking fresh chicken breasts do you need to rinse them off before cooking them? I know some frozen brands say to rinse the chicken first :nutts I am making a chicken stew for dinner tonight and need to get it in the crock pot soon :)

I'm that way to. I am paranoid about cooking pork and chicken so mine always tends to be a little overcooked.

I used to but not anymore. I don't like touching raw meat with my own hands to I just use a fork to transfer the meat or whatever to the pan, dish, etc. I make sure it's cooked all the way...
I do rinse meat that has bones in it, because fo the saw dust...
I HATE handling raw meat with my hands! It just feels so icky to me.

I do sometimes. It depends on what I'm making and how much juice is all over it. I'm not a fan of touching raw chicken but I have no problem with raw beef.

Does it feel slimy to you? It does to me, at least chicken.
