How to choose fresh and delicious chicken
You can buy pre-prepared chicken or live chicken to clean at home.
If buying pre-prepared chicken:
- You should choose chickens with light yellow skin, without blood clots. Avoid those with dark, mottled colors, as they are often killed before processing.
- Press the meat with your hand; it should be elastic, firm, and not mushy. If buying pre-prepared chicken from the supermarket, pay attention to the expiration date to avoid meat that is no longer fresh.
If buying live chicken:
- You should choose chickens with bright red combs, smooth feathers, alert eyes, normal movement, and skin with a light yellow, even color.
- Press the meat on the breast; it should feel full, and if the bone beneath the breast is a little soft, it indicates the chicken is still young, with plenty of meat and tenderness.
- Avoid chickens with bruised skin, blood clots, uneven color, or with sticky discharge from the beak; fluffy feathers may indicate the chicken is sick.
- Check the wings; if you see red spots, swollen meat, and it feels soft without elasticity when pressed, it indicates the chicken has been injected with water.
How to clean and remove the smell from chicken
- After purchasing, you should blanch the chicken briefly with some starfruit leaves, then carefully pluck out any remaining feathers.
- To prevent the chicken from smelling, first cut off the oil gland at the tail of the chicken.
- Then use some vinegar and salt to rub the surface of the chicken, and rinse it thoroughly with water several times.
How to choose fresh and delicious carrots
- Good carrots usually have a bright orange color, a smooth surface, and are not scratched.
- Prefer to choose carrots with fresh green tops, tightly attached to the carrot body, and feel heavy and firm when held.
- Do not choose carrots that feel light, have a wilting surface, and have many unusual black spots on the surface.
