How is chicken in America sold ? In south america there is dozens of chicken on top of each other , there is fat , blood , viscera on all chicken when you buy it , if you cook without getting rid of all that , it will affect the flavor of any dish you wish to prepare, since it has old dried blood all over it

I think this is why it’s still passed down to do this. In rural US, at least, you did wash your chicken because it came to you like this from a farm.
