How to choose fresh chicken legs
- Choose chicken legs that have light yellow skin, smooth, firm to the touch, press lightly on the meat to feel its elasticity. In addition, the meat should have a bright red color, without any unpleasant smell or sliminess.
- Avoid choosing chicken legs that have loose skin and meat or those that are dark, bruised, scratched, or have blood clots.
How to choose fresh and delicious garlic
-
Choose garlic bulbs that are firm and feel solid in your hand (note that overly large garlic will not be aromatic). The type of garlic that is slightly purple on the outside and small is the most fragrant. Avoid choosing bulbs that are bruised, soft, or leaking.
-
It is advisable to choose garlic with the outer skin of the bulb intact and slightly white; if the skin is wrinkled, not firm, or sagging, it should not be taken.
-
The cloves of the garlic bulb should be plump and not too dry, also not wrinkled and have a slightly white color. Avoid selecting garlic bulbs with gray or yellow cloves as they will not have a fragrant smell.
