- Ready In:
- 15mins
- Ingredients:
- 4
- Yields:
-
1 bird
- Serves:
- 2
ingredients
- 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
directions
- 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.

What a great marinade! I had my DS mix up the marinade, then we put it in a plastic bag to marinate the chicken. I chose to use brown sugar for ours. I let it set in the fridge for about 4 hours, then on the grill they went. The chicken was excellent, and very moist and tender. We will use this marinade a lot. Thank you!

My family has a recipe heritage from Finland, Germany, Switzerland, and Italy. Also, I like to try new foods from all sorts of places, this is an american tradition. Some of my favorite recipes are from a Girl Scout cookbook.
This is because I am a Girl Scout Leader. During the summer, for one week, I volunteer as Girl Scout program manager at our daycamp. I help manage crafts, songs, games, activities around a central theme. At the same daycamp I am the bus lady. I say things like" Sit down ,don't poke your neighbor." or "Who wants to vote on what song to sing?" I love it.
Ok, now what else do I think is worth doing for fun? I like to garden in our yard. My all time favorite "cookbook" is a recipe box from my great grandma, grandma, and mother, in thier own handwriting. My second most favorite cookbook is Mrs. Beeton's all about cookery New Edition circa 1913. I am passionate about people, pets, children.
i like attending and volunteering at native american pow wows, summer picnics and meetings. it is a good welcoming club. t native american thru daughter.happy to have learned few recipes there.
If I had a month off no work, no responsibilities I would do arts and crafts and read books all night long sleeping in late each morning. I would go to museums in the afternoon, then to the library to get more books. I would cook and eat foods that I remember from my childhood.
