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.

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

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.

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.
