How to Remove a Tendon From a Chicken Breast Easily
I’m too old for TikTok, but I thought about downloading the app – not to record me dancing or watch other people dance, but to see what the kids are preparing and how they are preparing it.
The TikTok raising_krazies user is not a “kid” but she is raising children and cooking for them, and she recently shared a very good hack for removing a tendon in a chicken breast or tenderloin (which is then shared on Food52 , which is where I saw it).
I don’t usually remove the tendon if I cook a whole breast, but I admit that I was annoyed by his presence when I cut the chicken into nuggets. But nothing more. It’s actually very easy to remove the annoying thing; you just need a plug.
As Ms. Kreisis shows us in her video, all you have to do is slide the end of the tendon through the prongs of a fork, grab it with a paper towel, and pull on the tendon while pressing down with the fork. It slides out, giving you the option to cook tendon-free chicken cutlets.
