I don't understand why you would NOT want to rinse any meat that your get from the store. Cryovac or no, I rinse everything. How can rinsing anything be worse than not rinsing it unless your water is bad :) Not another thread.......

As to the OP, it was stated "overnight", I don't see that as a problem at all. Now I wouldn't store it that way myself unless I had a purpose to do it, i.e. to produce that crispy, bite through skin that everybody likes. Off hand, I cannot think of another reason to leave it uncovered, and would not make it my "usual practice".

I let mine air dry in the fridge along with some added salt to the skin for cookoffs. Helps with the texture of the skin- crispier if you like it that way.

Ok if you have ever seen video of chicken being processed, it goes through at least one dunk in a sea of God only knows what is in it, and how many thousands of birds were run through it. I will rinse if for no other reason except for peace of mind for whatever that is worth. I keep a bottle of diluted bleach in a spray bottle for clean up.
The only concern with it sitting uncovered in the fridge, is to make sure there are no odors from other foods like cucumbers for one, that the chicken mite absorb. Dave

Ladies and Gentlemen, as we all know there is more than one way to skin a cat..some people rinse their chickens others dont. Some cover their chickens and others dont. I think we can all agree that Bacteria and other nasties are not good, but i think we are all mature enough to know how to handle food safely. Weather there are benefits or not on rinsing i will continue to do it because for me, it is more pleasing to not have feathers or gooey bloody gunk on my birds before i put my rubs on. There are also cooking methods we are able to try at home that would not fly in restaurants due to food regulations. So if you want to keep your food uncovered at home by all means try it! It might yield amazing results and we can then see the Pr0n!

Fear mongering doesn't just exist in politics it lives well in the cooking/BBQ community as well. It generally originates from a microbiologist or someone that's close to one that spreads stories of the boogie man hidden in the thin air and surrounding the food and world around you.
That being said, they aren't exactly wrong. The facts and bacteria are definitely there. The problem is that our bodies have been here elvolving the whole time right along with the microbes. Common sense and safety will take care of you like it has from day one. Dry your chicken in the fridge just as it was doing in the meat market that you bought it in and enjoy.

Guess I better get me a protective case for my tooth brush in the bathroom. Seems pissing in a commode can cause a fine mist that can fill the whole bathroom, and then some, with a fine mist that will settle on everything, better cover the soap, hair brush faucet handles, light switch, door knob. towels.
Got to wonder how mankind has made it to this point. Dave

Here is a picture of some capons I took at a fair in Vilalba, Spain last December.
Nearly 2000 of these capons were sold through the morning and into the afternoon for $100-$150. This village is famous for their capons and this fair has been going on for centuries. There also were a few butchers set up selling various meats. Note the lack of refrigeration. This is not unusual, even in the markets in summer. Somehow people buy and eat uncovered and unrefrigerated meat that has been kept that way for many hours and survive. Heck, I've even done it myself. There are a few more pics in this thread: http://www.bbq-brethren.com/forum/sh...d.php?t=202469
