The cleanest way to pound the chicken
The previous hack from @stoveandgarden was featured in a video with several kitchen hacks compiled in one video. Here’s another amazing trick from the same video, explaining the correct way to pound chicken using chicken pounder.
If used directly, it is quite a mess to clean up the chicken pounder with all those tiny bits of chicken and juices left on it. So instead of using it directly, place clean food wrap or a plastic bag on the chicken before flattening it; this will ensure that direct contact is avoided. You should still clean the pounder, but it will be much easier now.
