Apparently washing your chicken was an old practice to "rinse the germs off". In reality it just sprays germs everywhere. I can't believe anyone thought it was a good idea.

I think it's common where meat is sold in open-air markets. I read an article about the practice last year.

In the days before plastic packaging?

Those things still exist. Heck they might come back in the US once food prices rise and the FDA is disbanded.

It's a leftover practice from days when standards were lower. Just like cooking pork to 165, it's not necessary anymore, but habits die hard
