I’m a foodie and you’ve been marinating your chicken wrong – the 14p fruit that’ll make it the juiciest meat ever
THERE’S nothing worse than cooking a chicken breast, only to find out it’s dry and tasteless.
But one foodie has shared a clever 14p hack to ensure it’s juicy and moist every time.
“The key to the juiciest chicken you will ever have is actually a kiwi,” foodie Elliott said in a video on his TikTok page.
“I’m just going to take the kiwi out, you can blend this up or just break it down a little bit with a spoon.
“Have you ever seen people put limes in their marinades? It’s similar to that.
“It’s going to break down the chicken and make it super tender. I’m going to go in with a little olive oil.

“Then you’re going to let your chicken marinade in this for at least an hour.”
Showing the chicken covered in the kiwi juice, seeds and oil, he added: “I know it looks weird but just trust me.
“Your chicken won’t be sweet or sour, it’s gonna be so juicy,” he continued.
“Add a little salt, pepper, whatever seasoning you want.”

He then cooked the chicken in a frying pan, and showed it once it was done.
“All this just with a kiwi,” he gushed.
“The chicken melts in your mouth.”
In the caption, he wrote: “Learned this one in Africa – I know it sounds crazy but trust me.”

If you’re allergic to kiwi, then you could use a pineapple or a mango.
Elliott shared another video in which he showed himself using a mango in a similar manner.
After cooking the chicken, he said: “Sweeter than the chicken but more savoury.”
“It’s the actinidin enzymes,” someone commented on the kiwi video.

“Guava also does it without imparting as much sweetness as pineapple does.”
Responding, Elliott wrote: “I think kiwi works better than pineapple. I’ll try guava next.”
