Outer Layer of Ice on Chicken Wings
The layer of ice clinging to chicken wings is formed by water secreted from the wings. This is a fairly important factor in determining the freshness of the wings. Therefore, housewives need to choose carefully the amount of ice outside, the thinner the better.
This is explained by the thin layer of ice being for a short period of time and the wings still maintain freshness. On the contrary, if the layer of ice is too thick, it may indicate that the wings have been stored for a long time and the meat will become tough and lose many nutrients.
The color of the chicken wings is also one of the important factors in assessing the freshness. Image source: AFP.
Taste of Chicken Wings
Even though they are frozen, chicken wings will still have a faint taste. Don’t hesitate to smell directly and if you notice a strong odor, it indicates that the wings are no longer fresh. Choose chicken wings with a natural aroma to confidently buy them and prepare delicious dishes for your family.
Color of Chicken Wings
If the wings are still fresh, the skin will be slightly yellow, shiny, and absolutely no signs of paleness or darkening. And if the chicken wings are pale white or have small gray spots that may be mold, they should be avoided.
Many nutrition experts advise that careful food selection is essential, and it is best to choose fresh food and limit frozen items that can be harmful to the health of your family, especially children.
