Cooking takes the salt out of frozen chicken?

[GroinkTropin]

So at the grocery store yesterday I decided to pick up some chicken breasts. Good ol chicken you know, and I see these frozen breasts on sale for cheap and when got them home I noticed something strange-they contain like 400mgs of sodium PER 4OZ!!!

When I cooked some a ton of water came out of them, much much more than usual.

So did/does cooking take the water and thus salt out of the breasts or are they still lethally salty? If the salt stays and I cannot get rid of it I am takin them back.

Can I just wash them in cold water or something?

Put a potato in the water, it will soak up salt.

I was once told that the nutrition facts of an item are relevant if you eat it right out of the package. If it doesn't say cooked on the package assume that it is what it is in raw form. Keep in mind the weight of a raw chicken breast and a cooked chicken breast of the same size differ as well meaning the protein count is different between raw weight and cooked weight. 8oz of raw chicken might have 48g of protein, but 8oz of cooked chicken tends to be more.




I might be talking out of my ass too, lol.
