How to choose fresh and delicious chicken
- Good chicken usually has a light yellow color, bright color, and when smelled, has a characteristic raw meat smell, without any strange odor. You should pay attention to these points!
- You should not choose pieces of meat that are pale white or slightly gray as they may have been treated with chemicals, which are not good for health.
- For packaged meat, you should check if the bag’s seal is intact. Additionally, you should also choose packages that are within the expiration date!

Prepare the chicken
After buying, wash the chicken thoroughly and make diagonal cuts on the inner side of the meat.
How to clean chicken meat without fishy smell:- Method 1: Rub the chicken with a mixture of salt and vinegar in a ratio of 2:1 for about 5 minutes, then rinse with clean water about 2 – 3 times.
- Method 2: You can choose to replace vinegar with lemon. Just rub a few slices of lemon with a little salt on the chicken and rinse with clean water!
- Method 3: Crush 1 piece of ginger and mix with a little white wine, then rub this ginger-wine mixture onto the chicken. Wait for about 30 minutes and then rinse clean before cooking!
