How to choose fresh and tasty chicken
- You should choose chickens with light yellow meat, taut skin, and no purplish discoloration or bruising. Fresh and healthy chickens have ivory-colored breast, belly, and wings without red spots.
- You can test the elasticity of the chicken meat by pressing it gently; good chicken has firm meat, not soft.
- Do not buy chickens with strange fishy odors, and limit the purchase of frozen chickens as they may not guarantee freshness.

Prepare the chicken
After buying the chicken, you need to pluck off all the fine feathers sticking to the chicken skin, then wash the chicken with diluted salt water to make it really clean.
Next, sprinkle a little flour on the chicken and rub it to remove all dirt and odors, then rinse thoroughly with cold water two more times.
Once the chicken is clean, cut it into bite-sized pieces, then pour boiling water over it to blanch the chicken.
How to remove the smell of chicken
- To prevent the chicken from smelling, you need to clean off all feathers, including fine feathers (down) to make the chicken white, clean, and less smelly.
- Mix vinegar and salt in a ratio of 2 salt to 1 vinegar, then rub it all over the chicken, scrubbing several times and then rinse thoroughly with clean water or rub lemon and salt onto the chicken skin or use a bit of ginger and white wine to rub on the chicken to eliminate the smell.
