Brilio.net - Everyone definitely has their own favorite side dishes to cook at home. One side dish that is quite popular is chicken with various preparations. Apart from tasting delicious, chicken is also nutritious.
To make it even healthier, many people choose to cook free-range chicken for their family at home. This is because free-range chicken is known to be healthier because it is raised using better methods before it reaches customers.
However, free-range chickens also have their drawbacks, you know. The cooking time for free-range chicken tends to be longer than for broiler chicken, this is because the texture of the meat is tougher. To tenderize free-range chicken, you can boil it in a pressure cooker, so you don't waste LPG gas.
However, if you don't have a pressure cooker at home, don't worry because there are lots of other tricks. For example, relying on pineapple to marinate free-range chicken meat. This fruit is known to contain a number of substances that can stretch meat fibers.
Apart from that, the owner of the TikTok account @yayukraodatuljannah also has other tricks. To practice this trick, you don't need a pressure cooker or pineapple at all, but only one type of leaf.
Before getting into the trick, make sure the free-range chicken you want to cook is clean. Then, prepare a pan filled with water and heat it over medium stove heat. When the water is boiling, then put the free-range chicken into it.
It doesn't stop there, you also have to add a few jackfruit leaves. Yup, jackfruit leaves are the main ingredient to speed up the process of tenderizing free-range chicken.
The owner of the TikTok account @yayukraodatuljannah explained that you can not only practice this trick on free-range chickens, but also ducks, you know.
"Heat the water until it boils, then add the free-range chicken or duck and jackfruit leaves," he stressed, quoted by BrilioFood from TikTok @yayukraodatuljannah on Thursday (27/6).
After boiling for a while, check whether the free-range chicken meat is tender by piercing it with a fork or knife. When it is soft, the free-range chicken can be removed and drained. Then, cook the free-range chicken into any dish you like.
