Watery chicken

[Hodibiddy]

Anyone else find that lots of water come out of their chicken.
(and bacon for that matter!)
Is because I buy from supermarkets and not a butchers?
It usually boils instead of fries 🤦‍♀️

Depends on the quality of the chicken. Are you buying bog standard or free range?

Cheap meat is pumped full of water to make it look plump.

Yes. It's infuriating. The cheaper the meat the worse it is.

Aldi and lidl are particularly bad for this

Only thing that helps me with this is to put on a high heat, don't overcrowded the pan and leave for a few minutes before turning over. So don't constantly stir it around

They are! DH did a shop for me recently and it was awful - even the dog was a bit sniffy.

Yes, and it's gotten considerably more watery over the last few months! Cost saving exercise on the part of the supermarkets
