Brilio.net - Daily protein sources have many variations, such as eggs, beef, fish, shrimp, and chicken. Chicken is a favorite choice because it tastes good and is rich in nutrients, including vitamin B complex, protein, and minerals. Chicken is divided into several types, such as broiler and kampung.
Free-range chicken meat is considered healthier and of better quality because it is raised in large areas, produces higher nutrition, and is often chosen as a baby food menu. However, the texture of free-range chicken meat is tougher, requiring a long time to cook until tender.
Without a pressure cooker, it usually takes more than 1 hour to boil it. Many people choose a pressure cooker to save gas and time. However, there is a trick to boil free-range chicken without a pressure cooker shared by netizens on YouTube Rayyan Al Ghazali.
This trick only takes 30 minutes and makes the meat tender and free from fishy smell. What's the trick?
Prepare the cleaned pieces of free-range chicken in a frying pan. After that, add enough water. For 1 free-range chicken, the netizen familiarly called Mama Rayyan uses 500 ml of water. Next, cover the entire free-range chicken with two banana leaves.
"The function of the banana leaves is to make the chicken smell good," said YouTube account owner Rayyan Al Ghazali, quoted by BrilioFood on Saturday (11/1).

After placing the banana leaves, also put a lid on the pan. However, instead of using a lid the size of the diameter of the pan, the owner of the YouTube account Rayyan Al Ghazali chose to use a smaller lid so that he could press all the chicken pieces so that they would not move easily. Then, the lid of the pan is given any weight, for example a glass pyrex pan.

Next, turn on the stove to medium heat and boil the free-range chicken for about 30 minutes so that the texture is really tender. During the boiling process, the pyrex pan, pan lid, or banana leaves should not be opened at all so that the boiled free-range chicken is really tender. Later, after boiling, the boiled water will shrink and the natural oil from the free-range chicken will come out by itself.
"It's very tender, when you stab it with a fork, the meat is very tender without any resistance," said Mama Rayyan.
