How to choose fresh and delicious chicken
- In this dish, you can use any part of the chicken for braising, however, the thighs and wings will be the tastiest parts, making your braised dish more delicious.
- Choose chicken that looks fresh, without any foul or strange odors, the skin should not have bruises or discoloration, and avoid choosing those dark-skinned chickens as they are likely to be dead before being processed.
- If you want to pick good native chicken, choose pieces with light yellow, thin, smooth skin, high elasticity, and only dark yellow in certain areas like the breast, wings, back, with a compact and firm body, and a narrow breast.
- To avoid buying water-injected chicken, press on the area suspected of being injected (mainly thighs and breasts) to check; if it feels mushy, slippery, or deformed, do not buy it.
- If you see the chicken skin is yellow but the inner fat is white, then it is certain that the chicken has been dyed, so do not purchase it.
- For frozen chicken in supermarkets, it is necessary to check the reputable source of origin and the expiration date on the packaging to ensure quality.
How to prepare chicken without a fishy smell
- Mix vinegar and salt in a ratio of 2 salt : 1 vinegar, then rub the chicken meat several times and rinse thoroughly with clean water.
- Crush 1 piece of ginger and a little white wine, massage it onto the chicken and let it sit for 30 minutes before cooking. Rubbing a few slices of lemon with a bit of salt onto the chicken and then rinsing it with water can help eliminate the chicken’s odor.
