How to Choose Fresh and Delicious Chicken
- You should choose chicken with a characteristic shiny yellow skin. At the same time, observe that the outer skin is thin, feels smooth to the touch, not too rough, and has good elasticity like rubber.
- Additionally, choose chicken if the meat inside has a natural pink-red color, not too pale or too dark.
- Furthermore, avoid buying chicken that has tiny bruises or blood spots, meat that is slightly pale or turning dark gray, as these are chickens that died before being processed, making them unappetizing.
- Another note is to carefully check the expiration date and packaging date. Especially, remember to check if the product packaging is intact!
So, the above article has provided 2 ways to make spicy shredded chicken jerky that are delicious and appealing, which anyone can easily do right in their own kitchen. Give it a try, and good luck!
