Apple Cider Vinegar Marinade For Chicken Barbaja W.

1. 1

   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).

2. 2

   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.

3. 3

   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.

4. 4

   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.

5. 5

   Rinse gently with more clean cold water.

6. 6

   Now you are ready to cook stovetop, oven, crock pot, campfire or whatever.

7. 7

   Even an old elderly bird will usually be tenderized.

8. 8

   My grandma also used this on game to make it tender and moist.

9. 9

   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.

10. 10

    I mention the clean up, because when I was a new cook I did not know.
