help /ck/ I fucked up. I was trying to quickly thaw some chicken by running water over it, but the plastic bag I had it in leaked so it basically ended up marinating in tap water. how can I salvage my dinner?

>marinating in tap water
that's not how marinating works, just fucking dry off your chicken
Just dry it off, the same thing happened while I was thawing pork ribs the other day, it didn't even fuck up the rub too much.

Nigga, it was already plenty chlorinated at the factory. Your tap water is clown shoes compared to what that bird has seen

but wouldn't the stuff inside the chicken leak out into the water because of osmosis like reverse brining?
That sounds delicious, I fucking love water, it's the best drink. You should parboil the chicken and bake it in water.

It's actual aquatichydrodynamic leeching with salt being replaced with water. This is how corpses bloat and float. This is what people in the restaurant industry call a zombie fowl. Or a corpse pheasant. It's fine, it just might be a little dry and cause night terrors.

so should I salt it more than usual? I always end up overcooking my chicken anyway.

Get a digital thermometer and dive it into the thickest part of your bird. When it reads 165F its cooked, every other part of your bird will be hotter than that but still juicy. Normal salt.

Usually the thick part of the breast at the waist is the best part to put your probe into.
