Brilio.net - Processing chicken can be a challenge, especially because of the blood content that often remains in the meat. Even though the chicken has been boiled or braised, it is not uncommon for blood to still come out when the chicken is fried, making the appearance and texture less attractive. This often makes many people feel dissatisfied, especially when they want perfectly cooked fried chicken without blood spots.
The remaining blood in chicken meat usually comes from an imperfect cutting process or insufficient soaking time before cooking. When chicken is cooked at high temperatures such as when fried, the blood that has not completely come out will thicken and appear on the surface of the meat, which can affect the taste and appearance of the dish. In addition, the remaining blood can also give an unpleasant aroma if not processed properly.
In addition to the cutting aspect, there are several things that must also be considered when processing chicken so that it does not bleed. An Instagram user @ummubalqishaura once explained it more clearly through one of the videos uploaded. According to him, there are several things that need to be considered when processing chicken.
As reported by BrilioFood from Instagram @ummubalqishaura on Tuesday (21/1), the boiling temperature and condition of the chicken can also affect this. According to him, the temperature on the stove that is too low when the chicken is simmered can make it not cooked perfectly on the inside. Finally, blood will still come out when the meat is fried.

In addition, the condition of the chicken is usually not perfectly soft. In some cases, many people store chicken in the freezer to freeze and last longer. Well, when you want to marinate it, the chicken must be completely soft at room temperature. If the chicken is marinated in a half-frozen condition, it is very likely that the inside will not be cooked and bleed even though it has been marinated.

Well, to overcome fried chicken that still oozes blood even though it has been marinated, there are several effective ways that can be done, for example by soaking the chicken first. Before marinating the chicken, soak the chicken pieces in salt water or lime juice for 15-30 minutes. Salt water helps remove the remaining blood that is still left in the meat fibers, while lime can reduce the fishy smell and speed up the cleaning process. After soaking, rinse the chicken thoroughly before processing it further.

Then before frying, prick the thick part of the chicken with a fork or knife. This will help the remaining blood trapped inside to come out more easily during the braising process, so that when fried there is no more blood left in the meat.
Since it was uploaded on Sunday (19/1) yesterday, this video about the causes and how to overcome fried chicken that still bleeds has received more than 295 thousand viewers. Who would have thought, many other Instagram users then gave direct responses through the comments column. Most of them have even experienced the same problem when processing chicken.
"Indeed, when chicken is braised, it is better to have it fresh, or fried normally or in flour, because I have tried the difference in results between fresh and from the fridge, hiksss," said Instagram @bekal_bunda_adels.
"Thanks for the tips, umm," replied Instagram @rumahummii.
"You have to cook it on medium to low heat, umm, so it's cooked perfectly," said Instagram user @novaarkan_20.
"When I braise chicken... the chicken must be soaked in water, even if there is little water, it must be covered during the braising process, but don't use too much heat," wrote the Instagram account @nurulenzie.
"MasyaAllah, thanks for the knowledge," commented the Instagram account @kartiniiiiii17.
"Yes, this is true Umma...KL is still half frozen when boiled and blood often comes out... I'm really annoyed," concluded Instagram @pujie62.
