Tag: Brined chicken

According to the World Health Organization, the average adult consumes over twice the recommended daily sodium limit. While plain, fresh chicken is naturally low in salt, the sodium content in many chicken products can be surprisingly high, often due to processing methods.

According to the American Heart Association, more than 75% of Americans' salt intake comes from processed and restaurant foods. This statistic is critical to understanding the misconception: is chicken a salty food? The answer depends almost entirely on how the chicken is prepared and processed, not on its natural state.
