Step 3

Rinse at least twice with fresh tap water to remove the vinegar smell from the meat.

Step 4

Next, let the chicken sit in the bowl for at least one minute to allow the excess moisture to drain to the bottom of the bowl. Drain any liquid sitting at the bottom of the bowl, then pat the goat meat dry with a clean paper towel. Discard paper towel when done.
