Why is there so MUCH GODDAMN WATER in these supermarket chickens? holy shit I usually buy whole chickens to roast from a butcher's shop (who gets them from a local farm) but lately they stopped bringing them in favor of just wings and thighs. So I bought one from a supermarket, did the exact same roast routine I always do and took it out to rest on my cutting board. The board has some insertions at the edges to collect some of the juices, but today I look away for a moment and come back to find an entire fucking puddle on my table, even leaking on the floor. I've never seen so much fucking water come out of a chicken after a 75 minute roast, had to bring the fucking mop out. What's going on here?
>>21943239They inject the meat with water cause it adds weight that they can sell. A very common thing unfortunately, but there's money to be had
>>21943365>>21943239I realized that yesterday when I made some chicken. Although it was defrosted, it was still more water than the last time i made chicken, and it was from the same purchase as the most recent.
the last time i roasted a chicken I stripped all of the meat off of the carcass and weighed it and it wasn't even cheaper than just buying breasts or legs. the world is a fuck lately.
>>21943239They scald-steam the chickens to pluck them. After that they need to cool them back down quickly. The cheap way is to dunk them in chlorinated water and the expensive way is to blast them with cold air. You gotta pay extra to get air cooled ones, beyond what the chicken producer saves by water bloating the chickens.
>>21943239The chicken was too thirsty
>>21943239Shrinkflation. Brine is added for to meat for weight, so they can charge more money for the dame amount of meat.
>they dont know

>>21943239this doesn't happen in germany
>>21943239The human body is like 90% water. Chicken is probably like 98%
>>21944793>ACH!!! we dont do this in GERMANYYYYYY
>>21943239just brine it. this is the only thing that can salvage a commodity chicken. or buy the more expensive air chilled ones that dont get liquid injections.

>>21943239If you ever buy a chicken that is very big and looks good, it's a broiler. Broiler chickens get really fat and grow fast, they develop very little flavor and their muscles are full of water.Unless you live in some third world shithole they are not injecting water into the chickens. The broiler just does that. It's such a cost effective breed that it would be a waste of time to inject more water into them.If you want a good chicken you have to look for ones that look more skinny. A real chicken doesn't look that good.Food industry is full of these borderline scams where the seller optimizes for looks and weight and shelf life because the customer is stupid. The customer just buys what looks good.The customer sees a big fat chicken and he goes ''wow that a big fucking chicken'' and he buys it. This happens so often that they stop selling the regular chicken. The regular chicken looks like a starved diseased bird by comparison.
