How to Choose Delicious Raw Chicken
When choosing pre-slaughtered chicken, check the color and taste of the chicken as it affects your dish. Especially when boiling chicken, choose ones with good bounce to show that they are freshly slaughtered and can be chosen. If the chicken lacks bounce, it indicates that the chicken is not flavorful, so never choose it.
In addition, to choose delicious chicken, look at the color of the chicken. If it is light yellow or dark yellow, it indicates that the chicken is good and well-fed. But if the chicken is dark purple, has small spots on the skin and has a strange smell of antibiotics, never choose it because it is not a good type of chicken. Choosing chicken is extremely important to help you have a delicious boiled chicken dish.

How to boil delicious tender chicken
Step 1: First, clean the chicken under the faucet when you bring it home. You can rub salt and wash it several times until the chicken is clean and there is no typical chicken smell.
Step 2: Put a few slices of ginger into a pot of water, turn on the heat and boil the water. Then, turn off the stove when the water is boiling. Then, dip the chicken into this water for about 30 seconds and then take it out and repeat this step about 3 times.
Step 3: Next, put the chicken in a new pot of water, boil until boiling, then turn the heat down and continue to boil for 10 minutes. Then, to check if the chicken is cooked, use a skewer to poke into the chicken thigh. If you see the chicken meat has turned white, there is no blood flowing out, it means the chicken is well cooked, you can turn off the stove. Then immediately soak the chicken in ice water for about 2-3 minutes.
When hot chicken meets ice water, it has the effect of shrinking the chicken’s skin and meat, creating crispiness and firmness for the meat. In addition, it is also a secret to prevent the chicken from being mushy or separated after chopping. Remember to follow these 3 steps, you will have a visually appealing chicken dish that everyone loves. Good luck with your delicious boiled chicken!
