Pour the juice of two lemons (or half a glass of white vinegar) into cold water. Let the chicken soak for 20 to 30 minutes.
This natural acid bath helps neutralize odors, remove surface impurities, and firm the flesh.

Some families boil the chicken for five minutes before cooking it. The water, which is then discarded, carries away some of the residue and any traces of processing.
