Additionally, you should choose a chicken with lively eyes, not sluggish, and a comb that looks bright red. The chicken’s beak should look sharp and show no signs of sliminess. Chicken legs should be thin, straight, and have bright yellow skin.
- For pre-made chickens: You should choose a local chicken with light yellow, thin skin that may be slightly darker yellow in some areas like the back, wings, and breast. The meat should be pinkish-white and should spring back when pressed.
