How to “remove” all the chemicals out of store-bought chicken: a tip a meatpacking worker gave me.

Tips and Recommendations
A long soaking time isn’t necessary; one hour is usually enough.

Always use glass or stainless steel containers, never thin plastic.

You can add dried herbs or spices to the water for an extra touch of flavor.

Soaking chicken in salted water with lemon before cooking is a simple and effective method that improves its texture, adds juiciness, and offers greater peace of mind when serving.
