Social media gushes over Irish mom's chicken feather hack

This might the weirdest but most helpful hack for people cleaning chicken...

We South Africans are fond of freshly cooked chicken, so fresh that sometimes it still has a few stray feathers.

But no harm, no foul – we just burn them off. The usual trick to ensure your guests don’t end up with hairy chicken is burning off the hair, whether over an open flame, a stovetop, or, as some might say, an Irish innovation in chicken grooming.

A video shared on social media has left many people amazed by a woman’s unconventional method of removing excess chicken hair. 

Her tool of choice? A trusty razor blade – the kind you’d typically find in the bathroom.

People were flabbergasted by her interesting (or genius) approach to cleaning the chicken. Some even indicated they might use the same hack when cooking a chicken dinner. 

Check out some of the comments below:

  • "She onto something!! That Razor better be new, though."

  • "I always went for the tweezers; this looks like a time saver."

  • "I love this so much easier than trying to pull each hair out."

  • "Mate, all this time burning hairs off, I could have just been using a razor."

  • "I can’t help thinking about the lubricant strip on the razor. There will be a taste of soap on the chicken."
