If salt is added to stewed chicken first, it will directly affect the taste, characteristics and nutrient preservation of chicken and chicken soup. This is because if the chicken is soaked in salt water and salty soup before stewing, the chicken tissue will obviously shrink and tighten, which will affect the dissolution of nutrients into the soup, hinder the concentration and quality of the soup, and make the stewed chicken hard and old, and the soup will be tasteless. Therefore, the correct way to put salt in chicken stew is to cool the stewed chicken soup to 80-90 degrees Celsius, and then add appropriate amount of salt, so that the chicken soup and meat taste the best.
