How to choose fresh and delicious chicken wings
- To choose fresh and delicious chicken wings, you should look for wings that have a light white color with a slight yellowish tint. The wings should be intact, without signs of bruising or damage affecting the quality of the meat. Fresh chicken meat usually has a distinctive aroma.
- If buying frozen chicken wings, you should observe the layer of ice around them. If the ice layer is thin, then these are new wings; if the ice is thick, then these wings have been stored for a long time and should not be purchased. Note that if buying frozen chicken, you should also pay attention to the expiration date on the packaging.
- Avoid choosing wings that have turned a dark yellow color or have unusual bruises, have a foul smell, or are close to their expiration date.
