Rinse them two or three times to remove preservative fluids.
Soak the chicken in lemon or vinegar.
Pour the juice of two lemons (or half a cup of white vinegar) into cold water. Let the chicken soak for 20 to 30 minutes.
This natural acid bath helps neutralize odors, remove surface impurities, and firm the skin.
Rinse again.
A final rinse in clean water (still in the container) will be enough to remove any lemon or vinegar taste.
An additional option: quick pre-boiling.
Some families boil the chicken for five minutes before cooking. The water, which is then poured off, removes some of the residue and traces of cooking.
