Looking to perfect your cleaning routine? Here are three equally effective alternatives:
Baking soda: Add a tablespoon to lemon water, let it soak for 15 minutes, and say goodbye to lingering odors.
Light brine: An hour in lightly salted water softens the flesh and enhances the flavor.
Milk or whey: In some traditional recipes, chicken is soaked in milk for several hours to make it more tender and moist.
