How to choose fresh and delicious chicken
- For pre-made chicken, you should choose free-range chicken with light yellow skin, firm meat, and good elasticity when touched.
- In addition, you should not buy chicken that has a bad smell, is slimy, or feels mushy and inelastic when touched.
- If buying live chicken, you should choose chickens with smooth feathers, bright red combs, a full breast when lightly pressed, and good elasticity. Do not choose chickens with purple combs, runny noses, or rough feathers.
How to choose the right corn
- To buy good corn, you should choose long ears. Do not choose corn that is too young as it will have less starch and will not be chewy, while corn that is too old will have hard kernels.
- You can try peeling the husk at the top of the corn. If the kernels are even, plump, and moderately soft when pressed, it is good corn.
- Choose corn with light green husks, free from pests, and fresh light brown silks. Do not choose corn with dark brown silks.
