How to choose good whole chicken
- When selecting chicken, pay attention to choose pieces with shiny yellow skin, thin skin, and a smooth feel with a certain elasticity when touched.
- Pay attention to observe the color of the meat inside. If it has a natural pinkish-red color, not too light or too dark, then it is fresh and of good quality.
- If the meat has bruises, unusual blood spots, or the meat is pale or dark, then it should not be selected.
- If choosing packaged and pre-processed chicken, also pay attention to the expiration date and whether the outer packaging is intact.
