I am vegetarian and have been since I was 14, so am not that experienced when it comes to preparing meat (although DS and DH both eat it, so I have cooked it quite a bit over the past 2 years).
Anyway, I bought a lovely new cookery book (I think it's an American one) and all of the chicken recipes start with the instruction: "Rinse the chicken and pat it dry".
I cook chicken quite a bit for DS (now 2.10) and have never once rinsed it. Should I have been? He has not been poorly. But I hate the thought that I have been doing it wrong all this time and risking making him ill!
So - do you rinse??
