Today, the issue of antibiotic content in food products, especially poultry, is causing serious concerns among consumers.

Many of them certainly cannot be called groundless.

However, there are home methods for cleaning chicken meat from antibiotics.

Pickling

One way to reduce antibiotics in poultry is to marinate it in an acidic solution, such as lemon juice or apple cider vinegar. The acid helps break down and remove antibiotic residue from the surface of the meat.

Using the solution

Washing meat in various solutions can also help reduce antibiotics. For example, you can use a mixture of water and salt or vinegar to wash meat before cooking.

If you don’t have any time at all, you must rinse the chicken at least under running water.

Using steam

Steam effectively destroys various substances that can accumulate on the surface of the meat.
Of course, such processing can be called one of the most difficult, but it is definitely worth evaluating, as it has proven its effectiveness in practice.

Don't forget about hygiene

Finally, don't forget about hygienic preparation in the kitchen. Thoroughly washing your hands, tools, and surfaces before preparing food will help reduce the risk of transferring antibiotics and other harmful substances to food.

As a rule, many people forget about basic hygiene, thereby making a key mistake.

And special attention should be paid to the cutting board, because various microbes and bacteria can accumulate on its surface, which can cause colossal damage.
