How to choose fresh and delicious chicken
- You can use any part of the chicken for this dish, such as: chicken breast, chicken thighs,… however, to make the dish tastier, you should choose chicken thighs as the meat will be tender and sweeter, while the breast meat can be a bit dry.
- Choose a chicken with a characteristic shiny yellow skin, thin, smooth outer skin, good elasticity, and the inner meat should have a natural pinkish-red color, not too pale or too dark, with minimal bruises or blood clots.
- Press with your hand to check if the chicken has been injected with water. If the chicken feels mushy, slippery, or deformed, do not buy it.
- If buying frozen chicken, make sure to purchase from reputable supermarkets or stores to ensure product quality.

Prepare the Ingredients
To eliminate the odor from chicken, you should rub it with salt, soak it, and wash it with lemon or vinegar! After washing thoroughly, remove any fat from the surface of the meat and slice it into thin, bite-sized pieces.
Effective Ways to Remove Chicken Odor:- 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 several times.
- Method 2: You can also replace vinegar with lemon; just rub a few slices of lemon with a little salt on the chicken, then rinse with clean water.
- Method 3: Crush a piece of ginger and mix it with a little white wine, then rub this ginger-wine mixture onto the chicken and let it sit for about 30 minutes before cooking.
