How to choose fresh and delicious chicken meat
- When buying chicken, you should choose meat that has a bright red-pink color, no foul or strange smell, and the skin should not have bruises or dark spots. Avoid choosing dark-colored chickens as they are likely to have died before processing.
- You should not buy chickens with yellow skin but white fat underneath, as this indicates that the chicken has been dyed.
- To avoid buying water-injected chicken, press your hand on the suspected areas (mainly the thighs and breast) to check. If it feels soft, slippery, or deformed, do not buy it.
How to clean and eliminate the foul smell from chicken meat
To clean chicken meat and eliminate foul odors, you can apply the following methods:
- Dissolve vinegar and salt in a ratio of 2:1, then apply it all over the chicken, rubbing several times and then rinsing with clean water.
- Rub a few slices of lemon on the chicken with a little salt, then rinse thoroughly with cold water.
- Crush a piece of ginger and mix it with a little white wine, then apply it evenly on the chicken and let it sit for about 30 minutes before rinsing with clean water.
