Instructions
Step 1: Place the chicken in a bowl and sprinkle the baking soda over the surface.
Step 2: Toss with your fingers to coat as evenly as possible.
Step 3: Refrigerate for 20 minutes if using slices, or 30 minutes if using bite-size pieces.
Step 4: Rinse well in a colander to remove the baking soda.
Step 5: Shake off the excess water, then pat the chicken dry. It does not need to be completely dry.
Step 6: Use as directed in your chosen recipe. The chicken can be marinated, cooked on the stove, deep-fried, or simmered in broth; it is suitable for stir-fries and noodles.
Notes
Use sliced or small bite-size chicken pieces. For a whole breast fillet, use a marinade or dry brine instead.
