Phrasing!

Or, You Do Not Want To Hear This If You Are Not Looking At The TV Screen:

     "Anyone who's 'had' one of our chickens can tell you they're plump and juicy...."

     I swan, that is the exact read. Internal quotes and all.  Ew.  That statement, along with the latest "do not wash raw chicken" warning,* is enough to put a person clean off the pinheaded pollos.
_______________________
* A close read has me thinking the main problem is giving raw chicken a shower.  A gentle bath -- no splashing! -- might be okay, after which you could powder 'em, put fresh nappies on 'en, and lay them down for a nice nap in the skillet, oven or grill.  Er, only without the diapers and using maybe salt, pepper, garlic and paprika for the powder.

    "using maybe salt, pepper, garlic and paprika for the powder"

    Or a generous coating, of Old Bay seasoning, yum!

    You forgot the generous slathering of olive oil. Can't have the precious thing's skin getting all dried out, can we?
