TIPS FOR CLEANING CHICKEN
1. if frozen, allow to defrost in the refrigerator or use the defrost option on your microwave.
2. place the chicken on a cutting board; cut the wings (the end joint ) and discard.
3. make a slit on the skin along the back bone.
4. cut the skin at the end of the legs i.e., drumsticks.
5. now you can easily peel off the skin from the body.
6. cut into pieces as desired ; wash with vinegar/lemon juice and warm water; drain and use.
note:
1. some say, theres no need to wash chicken, as cooking kills any bacteria.
----- but i have always been cleaning my chicken :) from the time i started cooking...
2. some say, washing chicken will leave ur cutting board and sink contaminated.
------ you should always clean up these things after use with vinegar and salt and hot water...
3. some say, the skin can be left on , and can be removed after cooking
------ true,only if its roast chicken, etc... :)imagine making a gravy.
