Why it makes no sense to soak chicken before cooking

Some housewives recommend soaking chicken before cooking. They specify that this procedure should be carried out with chicken carcasses raised on special farms, this does not apply to domestic ones.

Birds are given compound feed with hormones and antibiotics so that they grow faster and gain weight better.

Therefore, it is believed that soaking in water for an hour can rid the carcass of all these harmful substances. But is this really so?

In fact, everything is a little different. Ordinary soaking in water will not affect the composition of poultry meat. Hormones and antibiotics will remain in place.

The most correct and logical way to remove harmful substances is to drain the first water after boiling, in which the carcass was cooked, and then pour the second and cook a little.

So there is a high probability that all antibiotics, hormones and other substances that adversely affect human health will evaporate from the chicken.
