Chicken kidneys are a rather specific offal that can have an unpleasant odor. Before starting the heat treatment, they should be cold and soaked in liquid. Better for a long time - at night or at least for 2-3 hours.

Soaking is necessary in water or milk, which is a wonderful absorber of unpleasant odors. It is necessary to cook, changing the water, draining it at least 2 times.

The ratio of water and kidneys is 2 to 1, i.e. liquid should be twice as much. This is necessary because a lot of waste is released into the water. And with a small amount of offal can stick to the bottom of the pan. Duration of cooking - 1-1, 5 hours. Kidney broth is not used for food.
