How to choose fresh and clean chicken
For live chicken
- Live chickens with good quality meat will move flexibly, while sick chickens often appear sluggish and walk slowly.
- Additionally, healthy chickens usually have shiny feathers. In contrast, sick chickens often have raised head feathers, and their feathers generally appear ruffled and somewhat damp.
- You should also avoid buying chickens that often squint, wheeze, have runny eyes and noses, and whose combs have turned light purple or black.
For processed chicken
- Fresh and delicious chicken will have a characteristic golden skin. The outer skin is thin, feels smooth to the touch, not too rough, and has good elasticity.
- The meat inside the chicken is naturally pink-red, not too light or too dark. In particular, the chicken meat should not have any bruises or blood clots. Parts of the meat that are slightly pale or turning darker gray are from chickens that died before being processed.
- Moreover, you should pay attention to the expiration date and packaging date, and buy chicken meat that has a production date closest to the purchase date. Additionally, check if the bag openings are intact.
