Susan - This post is very timely, as I have been struggling trying to reconcile the concept of chicken brining (which I just did a few days ago), with the admonishment not to wash chickens. Are these not contradictory practices?
The Chef's Last DIet - Not really. People wash chicken because they believe they are washing off bacteria, which is not the case. When you brine though, you need to be careful how you dispose of the brining liquid, and understand that it can spread salmonella. Brining serves a purpose, whereas washing chicken does not.
