Step 2: Prepare the Chicken

Rinse. Remove the skin of the chicken legs. Let the chick sit in the water with lime, 1 teaspoon of salt, and vegetable vinegar for 30 minutes. This task would help with the bad smell of the chicken and kill the bacteria. It also helps the chicken blood stop running.

Stove temperature level. Put the pot on the stove at medium-high.
