Brilio.net - Cooking chicken that often bleeds can be an unpleasant experience. This problem is not only annoying, but can also raise concerns about whether the meat is safe to consume. Therefore, it is important to understand the causes and how to overcome them so that the cooking results remain perfect and delicious.
One of the main causes of blood loss when cooking chicken is the lack of proper cleaning and preparation before cooking. The blood left in the chickens veins can leak out as the meat heats up. To avoid this, make sure you clean the chicken well and soak it in vinegar water for a few hours before cooking. Additionally, cutting off large bones and washing the meat under running water can also help reduce the amount of blood loss during cooking.
In addition, improper cooking methods can also cause blood to come out of chicken meat . To minimize this, you can use a trick done by Instagram user @ummubalqishaura. Through one of the videos uploaded, she admitted to applying a more powerful and practical technique in processing chicken meat so that it does not bleed.

The brining technique is a technique of soaking meat in a salt water solution to add moisture and flavor. This technique works by drawing water and salt into the meat fibers, making it juicier, tender, and flavorful when cooked.
