How do you keep fresh chicken?

Answer 1

Fresh chicken eggs that do not have obvious pieces of manure, grass, mud, straw or other objects stuck to them are clean enough to go straight into the carton. In fact, they will last longer if they are not washed. Washing actually removes a protective membrane form the outside of the egg and can hasten spoilage.

If eggs are dirty and unsightly, rub them off with a dry cloth, or a damp one if the foreign matter is stuck to the shell.

To ensure clean eggs fresh from the coop, make sure your hens have plenty of room to lay, and their laying boxes are cleaned weekly and re-stocked with fresh bedding.

Answer 2

Assuming the question concerns a fresh chicken that has been plucked, cleaned, and ready to cook, one rinses the chicken thoroughly, inside and out, under cold or warm running water. Do not use soap. Pat the chicken dry on paper towels. The most important consideration is to avoid contact of anything or any surface that has touched the chicken with any other food. This means that once the chicken is washed, the sink, counter, utensils and the cook's hands must be thoroughly cleaned with hot water and soap or detergent.

If your chicken is alive you get small animal shampoo and put it on a soft sponge and get WARM water then rinse your chicken then rub it with soap rinse it again then let it run free or hair-dry it
