Categories     Apple

Time 15m

Yield 1 bird, 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

clean cold water
1/2 cup salt, may use less (to taste)
1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
pancake syrup or artificial sweetener, your choice please add ice cubes if using for more than a few minutes out of the refrigerator

Steps:

  • Remove chicken from package (or if living in a country where chicken is really fresh, remove feathers, entrails (do not crush any bits) head, feet and wingtips and tail).
  • In a large bowl or clean sink put the chicken or cut up pieces of meat then pour on cold water until covered then add 1/2 cup of table salt or use less and 1/2 cup of apple cider vinegar.
  • Move the chicken around gently in this mixture for 10 to 15 minutes. Less time is ok if you see that the skin hangs loose on the meat.
  • You can add sugar or brown sugar, molasses, honey, karo syrup, pancake syrup or artificial sweetner to the soak, but that and the salt are a matter of taste.
  • Rinse gently with more clean cold water.
  • Now you are ready to cook stovetop, oven, crock pot, campfire or whatever.
  • Even an old elderly bird will usually be tenderized.
  • My grandma also used this on game to make it tender and moist.
  • Remember to use a sink cleanser that contains bleach on the sink, because chicken is a funny meat. You need to be careful with utensils after they were touched by any raw meat.
  • I mention the clean up, because when I was a new cook I did not know.

I use Bragg ACV which you should be able to find at any health food store. Some people say it can help control your blood sugar, aid in digestion, it is said to be a natural lowerer of bad cholesterol, it has long been promoted as a remedy for arthritis ( the National Arthritis Foundation says apple cider vinegar has not been proven effective against arthritis but it can't hurt to try). Also many people claim it is a powerful weight loss aid allowing them to lose weight more quickly as it revs up your metabolism and contains a slew of amazingly beneficial vitamins, including B6, which is long known for its energy benefits. One thing about ACV of course is that you must make sure your dental hygine is good as the acid in ACV can eat the tooth enamel.
