Brilio.net - Chicken meat is a versatile ingredient in the culinary world. This ingredient can be processed into various dishes, from main dishes to snacks such as chicken balls, dim sum, nuggets, and croquettes. These chicken-based snacks generally have a savory and delicious taste.
Some chicken snack recipes require ground meat. Ground chicken can be easily found in supermarkets, but can also be prepared at home. The process of grinding the meat can be done using simple kitchen equipment such as a blender or chopper.
Chopper is a tool specifically designed to smooth hard food ingredients such as chicken . The use of a chopper tends to produce a smoother and softer meat texture compared to other tools. Thus, making chicken-based snacks can be done more easily and practically at home.
Unfortunately, not everyone has a blender or chopper at home. Like it or not, you have to grind the chicken yourself manually, namely using a knife. But grinding chicken with a knife also requires its own tricks so that the results are soft.
One of the YouTube netizens named Yenie Yumie once revealed a simple trick in smoothing chicken meat. So that the texture of the meat can be quickly crushed and smooth, she applied several specific techniques. Who would have thought, with this trick, the meat can also be smoother.
As reported by BrilioFood on Friday (27/9), the first thing to do is to separate the bones and meat. In the video, he uses the chicken breast which contains more meat. The meat of the chicken breast also tends to be softer, so it will be easier to puree. Now, separate the meat and bones by slicing it with a knife.

Apart from that, you must also pay attention to the use of knives. It's best to use a sharp and thick stainless knife. Or use a knife that is often used to cut meat because the blade is usually stronger. This knife is also suitable for mincing chicken because the pressure is stronger, so the meat is easily cut into pieces and becomes smoother.

To mince the meat, you have to cut it into smaller pieces first. In the video, he cuts the meat into long, thin pieces. After cutting, mince the meat for a few minutes.

To make it smooth quickly, don't forget to change your hand position often when cutting. So, for a moment the position is vertical, then horizontal. Do the process repeatedly.
If the top feels smooth, turn the meat over using a knife. Then chop it again in the same way as before. This will make the chicken meat smooth evenly. Well, you can repeat this stirring and chopping process several times until the chicken meat is really smooth.

In the video, the minced chicken looks very smooth and soft. Furthermore, the minced meat can be processed directly or stored as stock. This method is quite practical and effective compared to using a blender or chopper, especially if the meat to be ground is only a little.
