Brilio.net - When buying chicken meat at the market, the fishy smell is often still strong. This smell is produced from the remaining blood in the chicken meat. Therefore, the chicken must be washed thoroughly before being processed into food. However, if only washed with plain water, the fishy smell often still sticks even though the chicken has been processed with various spices.
To overcome this problem, some people wash chicken with additional ingredients such as vinegar and lime. However, if soaked too long with these two ingredients, the texture of the chicken meat can be destroyed and the taste will be defeated by vinegar or lime.
To keep the chicken meat tasty and free from fishy odor, you can try the method used by YouTube user I-Rin TV. According to him, this is a very practical way to remove the fishy odor from chicken meat. If most people soak chicken in vinegar or lime, he doesn't need those ingredients. Curious about the trick?
As reported by BrilioFood from YouTube I-Rin TV on Saturday (28/9), prepare the ingredients first. Namely, sago flour and water. Don't forget, also prepare 2 large basins for the chicken container.
Dissolve the sago flour with enough water in a container. Once dissolved, put the chicken one by one into the container. Rub the surface so that the fishy smell disappears.

If it feels clean enough, move the chicken pieces into another container. The other container also consists of a sago flour solution with a larger amount of water.
"This function is so that the sago flour can be absorbed into the meat and also clean the smelly blood," he explained.

No need to soak for too long, just rinse the chicken pieces one by one. Rub the surface until it is clean and free from any remaining blood or sago flour solution.

Chicken that has been rinsed can be immediately prepared according to taste. Because it has been washed using a sago starch solution, the smell of the chicken disappears without remaining.
"Feel like there's no smell at all, guys, it smells like cut chicken," he said further.
Looking at I-Rin TV's YouTube upload, there are not many netizens who have left comments. Even so, this video has already received more than 23 thousand viewers.
