  Prepare the chicken wings

  Wash the chicken wings with water. Next, use salt to rub the wings to clean off dirt and grease. Then rinse with clean water and let drain.

  Then use the sharp tip of the knife to gently poke around the surface of the wings so that the marinade can soak in better.

  How to eliminate the smell of chicken meat

  • After rubbing with salt, you can use a mixture of alcohol and sliced, crushed ginger to rub and massage the chicken wings once more, which helps to eliminate the odor and dirt.
  • Wash clean and wait for it to drain. Additionally, you can add lemon to the water and soak the wings for 15 – 20 minutes. Then take them out, rinse with cold water, and let them drain.
