Washing Chicken

I learned from my Mother in Law (who is from Mexico) to wash your chicken with Lemon Juice (or Lime if that's all you have) She says that it disinfects the chicken. Here are the steps:

1. Roll lemon on counter

2. Cut lemon in half

3. Rinse chicken in water

4. Squeeze lemon over chicken

5. Rub chicken with lemon

6. Rinse lemon again with water

Sometimes I let it sit in the lemon juice for a bit. If I want my chicken to marinate in lemon after I have washed it, I squeeze a fresh lemon over it and let it marinate.
