A broken crust is vastly preferable to undercooked chicken. Plan on the whole process taking around 15—18 minutes, keeping in mind that white meat will cook faster than dark. Myoglobin can also slightly color the meat, even in chicken. The only way to be certain of chickens doneness is to use a probe thermometer and take the temperature of the meat in the middle of the thickest part near the bone.
If you eat undercooked chicken or other foods or beverages contaminated by raw chicken or its juices, you can get a foodborne illness, which is also called food poisoning. Washing raw chicken before cooking it can increase your risk of food poisoning from campylobacter bacteria.
Splashing water from washing chicken under a tap can spread the bacteria onto hands, work surfaces, clothing and cooking equipment. Want to stay up to date with this post?

Most of its hemoglobin is removed through this process and only a little bit remains in the tissues along with some myoglobin. It's possible that the liquid you're seeing is not actually blood. The USDA notes that many people often mistake the pink liquid they see for blood, but it is actually just water that the chicken has absorbed during the chilling process. So what you're seeing is just the release of that water and not the chicken bleeding.
Per the USDA, improperly bled chickens are identified by cherry red skin and are supposed to be discarded at the plant itself. Read more: Is Chicken Skin Fattening? Brining the meat with salt before you cook it is a simple trick that can help you reduce the amount of redness myoglobin or blood in your chicken drumsticks. In fact, kosher meat is also treated with salt to remove any leftover traces of blood from the meat.
The USDA explains that you can brine the meat in two ways. The traditional method is to let the meat soak in a solution of salt water. This not only helps draw out any remaining blood and myoglobin, but also enhances the flavor of the meat and makes it more tender and juicy. Dry brining is the other alternative, where you coat the chicken in salt and spices but don't use any liquid.
If my relatives chop the heads off they don't clean them right away they let the chicken 'rest'. I also know that they electrocute the birds.
I can honestly say that when I go to the farm and have to see the dead chicken there isn't any blood like in my store. I do get chance to go to Farmer's Market here and buy the chickens he has cleaned and have not really seen the blood. If anything really bothers me about chickens is not cooking them long enough.
Only way to get around this is to raise your own and see what happens. My relatives all have such different life than we do. Eat the fresh bacon and eggs almost everyday. I truly enjoy visiting them and seeing how things should be. Don't have everything but what they have is priceless!
I think I saw that slogan on tv about something. My dad grew up on a farm, and had to help clean the chickens. For years, he talked about how he hated "grasshopper chickens". I've had my share of home-farm raised chickens, and I have to tell you, I really like the modern "factory chickens" better. The free range chickens taste a little rank to me As far as the way the factories dispense the birds I have never heard the electrocution thing, but maybe some places do that.
I guess it would be more cost-effective than taking time to wring their necks or chop their heads off individually. Really, what's the difference? Brining like that doesn't draw blood out. You'd see it in the brine water afterwards if that were true. Brining draws the brine into the cells of the meat.
I saw the pics and that looks pretty normal to me too. Its some kind of reaction with heat and hemoglobin in the bones, I think. It is just the age of the chicken. Frying chickens are young. If you cooked a stewing chicken this would not happen. Chicken bones are filled with blood because they are not bleeding out the chickens after slaughtering.
We used to raise broilers and we always bled them out and there was no unappealing blood left in the bones to drain out into the meat. I don't know why more consumers don't complain about this problem. I have seen this sometimes on chicken that I order in a restaurant, and it usually doesn't seem to be cooked well enough for my liking. I cook my chicken really long, until it's falling off the bone, and I don't see this at all.
If I did, I wouldn't be eating as much chicken.
