Let it thaw in the fridge and then brine it for 10 hours before cooking.

It will be very tasty. If in doubt or if the bird was over 4 months old:



follow the pressure cooker instructions.

Haaahaaa, I'm a Mainer-- that is a waste of salt. lol I did read an article though that used pineapple or ginger root to marinate as each has a chemical that breaks down proteins. THAT I would do.

I listened to a Segment on NPR that was about food myths. The two that were true and scientifically valid were using room temperature eggs in baking and using brine for meat with to make them tender.

It really does work.

I am a sixth Generation Californian so I really do not understand the salt reference. Out here we fight over water, LOL.

Oh, it's not that salt doesn't work, or that there is a shortage . . it's that all resources are carefully allotted. lol I find chicken to be rather salty, and though brining actually doesn't add much salt, I"m too frugal with salt and time to do this treatment. Time to shove it in the refrig for a day or two, or in the oven asap on a low temp 250 for a LONG time. I'm sure $$ wise this is more expensive than a salt brine!! lol

Love NPR--

How do room temperature eggs in baking make the meat more tender?

It makes the cake rise more.

That will probably make it more tender

haaha . . . as a baker it didn't occur to me that it was anything but baking!! Yes, it makes them more tender. . . . .lol

 

[ozexpat]

SO you put the cake in the oven at the same time as the chicken?

And this myth is true?

Scientifically?
