I always soak store-bought chicken in salted water. I didn’t know about this earlier.

I remember when I was just beginning my cooking journey. Once, I saw a friend bring home a chicken from the store and right away pour salt water on it.

For the first time, I felt surprised – why? But there is a significant meaning to this.

What is in chicken that you buy at the store?
Yes, it’s true – various chemicals, hormones, and antibiotics.

Now I always soak store-bought chicken in salted water. It’s a shame I didn’t find out about this earlier, let me explain why.
Some of my friends try to ignore this issue. They do not do anything else to the chicken bought at the store.
But I think differently about this.

I try to eliminate all this stuff as much as I can. I used to always simplify things – if I cooked something in the oven, I would season it beforehand. For the first dishes, I poured out the initial water.

Now I have a method that works for all possibilities.
First, you will need one liter of water. I put in a small spoon of citric acid and 3 big spoons of salt. Mix the solution well until the salt is fully dissolved.

Next, I put the chicken in this mixture. It is crucial that the body is fully submerged in it!

I let it sit for 3 hours, or even overnight.

This easy fix completely gets rid of any extra fat from the chicken. As an extra benefit, you will get more tender and flavorful chicken meat.

Hello, friends. I wholeheartedly suggest this approach to you. I use it personally and I know what I’m saying.
