I always soak chicken from the store in salt water. Sorry I didn’t know about this before

I remember when I was still starting my culinary “career”. I once saw that a friend, having brought home a chicken from the store, immediately poured salt water on it.

For the first time I was surprised – why? But there is a sense in this, and a very big one.

Now I always soak chicken from the store in salt water. It’s a pity I didn’t know about this before, I’ll tell you why
Among my friends there are those who try not to pay attention to this problem. They do not subject store-bought chicken to any additional processing.
But I have a different opinion on this matter.

What’s in store-bought chicken?
That’s right – different chemistry, hormones, antibiotics.

So I try to get rid of all this crap as much as possible. I used to make everything simpler – if I baked it in the oven, I would marinate it. And if for first courses, I drained the first water.

First you need a liter of water. I add a teaspoon of citric acid and 3 tablespoons of salt to it. The solution must be stirred until the salt is completely dissolved.

Then I dip the chicken in this solution. It is important that the carcass is completely immersed in it!

I leave it to “sour” for 3 hours, you can even let it sit all night.

This simple solution perfectly removes all the excess from the chicken. And as a bonus – juicier and softer poultry meat.

Friends, I confidently recommend this method to you. I use it myself and know what I’m talking about.
