How to choose fresh and delicious chicken
- You should choose chickens weighing about 1.5 – 2kg, with a compact and firm body, and not overly large breasts.
- When buying chicken, gently touch the chicken meat with your hand; if it has high elasticity, it is good chicken. Additionally, fresh chicken can be identified by the rosy, bright color of the skin.
- Avoid choosing chickens with bruises on the neck or tiny red spots. If the skin on the neck has an unusual color, it means the chicken is sick, and you should not buy it.

Prepare the chicken
When you buy the chicken, you should wash it thoroughly with water and rub salt all over the chicken to remove any unpleasant odors. Pluck out any remaining feathers on the skin and wash it again in a basin with clean water.
Tip: How to clean chicken meat without odor
- Method 1: After purchasing the chicken, you will rub it with a mixture of salt and vinegar in a 2:1 ratio for about 5 minutes to eliminate odors, then rinse it thoroughly with water and let it drain.
- Method 2: You can also replace the above mixture by rubbing a few slices of lemon with a bit of salt on the chicken, then rinse with clean water.
- Method 3: Additionally, you can crush a piece of ginger and mix it with a little white alcohol, then rub this mixture all over the inside and outside of the chicken, letting it sit for about 30 minutes before cooking to ensure the chicken has no unpleasant smell.
