Ingredients
- 1 Chicken breast
- 1 tbsp Salt
Method
- Sprinkle the chicken all over evenly with 1 tablespoon salt, and knead well.
- Place into a sieve or onto a net, and let sit for 10 minutes to get rid of any excess water or foul odors.
- Cheap chicken may have a bit of feathers and hide remaining, so make sure to remove it all.
- Rinse off the salt in water once 10 minutes have passed.
- Immediately wipe with a paper towel.
- The osmotic pressure of the salt will pull out the water, so just doing this will make the color of the meat much darker, and the meat will tighten up!
- If you sever the thick tendons, then you won't have to worry about them, and the meat wont shrink when cooked.
- I don't like the tendons either, and it is easy to remove them here.
- Use a knife to strip them off if they are a little difficult to remove.
- I don't like the fat that is under the skin, so I always get rid of it if there is any.
- You will be able to take off quite a bit of fat from under the skin.
- You are now done with the preparations!
- Feel free to use it in various recipes!
