How to Do It Properly
Place the raw chicken pieces in a large bowl or pot. Cover them completely with cold, clean water. Let the chicken soak for about 15 to 30 minutes. During this time, you may notice the water becoming cloudy. This is normal and usually comes from blood and proteins released from the meat. After soaking, drain the water and rinse the chicken briefly under running water. Pat dry with paper towels before cooking.
