How to choose fresh and delicious potatoes
- You should buy potatoes that feel firm in hand, are heavy, have smooth skin, are intact, with no spots, rot, black eyes on the skin, and are not rotten with liquid oozing out.
- You should choose potatoes with deep dents, and not sprouting on the body because potato sprouts can cause high toxicity.
- Avoid buying potatoes with wrinkled skins, which feel soft when pressed, as most of these are old, wilted, and no longer contain many nutrients, resulting in a bland taste.

Spicy Cheese Chicken
Place a pan on the stove, heat 1 tablespoon of cooking oil over medium heat for 2 minutes, wait until the oil is hot, then add 2 minced garlic cloves to sauté until fragrant.
When the garlic is fragrant and golden, add the potatoes and stir-fry for about 3 minutes. Be careful to stir gently so the potatoes do not break.
Next, add the marinated chicken and stir-fry together. To prevent the chicken from drying out, use a little water to rinse the remaining spices in the marinating bowl and pour it into the pan.
Stir-fry for about 15 – 20 minutes over low heat until the chicken is cooked, then sprinkle cheese on top of the chicken and cover the pan for about 2 minutes to let the cheese melt.
Finally, sprinkle some chopped green onions on top of the finished dish and turn off the stove!

How to choose fresh chicken
For live chickens
- Choose chickens that move actively and avoid those that appear sluggish and move slowly, as these are likely sick chickens.
- Choose chickens with shiny, smooth feathers that look very appealing. Conversely, do not choose chickens with slightly damp feathers that look ragged.
- Avoid selecting chickens that have foam coming from the corners of their eyes, unusual spots around the eyes, runny noses, and wheezing.
- Additionally, sick chickens often have strange bruises on their legs, but be more cautious as many chicken breeds have unique leg colors. The comb should be pale purple or turn dark bruised.
For processed chickens
- You should choose chickens with a moderate weight, not too big or too small. However, you should consider this criterion as it depends on the breed of chicken you select.
- Choose chickens with the characteristic golden yellow skin, thin outer skin that feels smooth to the touch and has good elasticity.
- The meat inside should have a natural pink color. Do not choose meat that is too pale or has a grayish hue, as these are chickens that died before being processed. In particular, avoid meat that has bruises or blood clots.
- When buying processed and packaged chickens, pay attention to the packaging date and expiration date, and check if the packaging is intact, whether the labels are torn or covered.
- Currently, processed chickens are widely sold at reputable markets or supermarkets. You can buy directly at the branches TasteVN nationwide to ensure safety for your health and your family’s.
