How to Choose a Good Chicken Breast: Look, Touch, Smell
You can get the maximum benefit from eating chicken breast and truly enjoy its taste only if you buy a quality product.
Expert of the online publication BelNovosti, chef Yulia Arkhipova told how to make the right choice.
What to look for when choosing chicken breast
If you buy a chilled product, first of all take a closer look at its appearance.
A pale pink color with white or pinkish veins indicates that the chicken breast is of good quality.
You will also need to do a touch test: you should make sure that the meat is elastic, even, dense and does not flake.
Press the breast with your finger: the shape of a quality product is quickly restored.
There should be no mucus or bruising on the surface.
And the last thing you should do is inhale the smell coming from the product. It should be natural and not contain any unpleasant foreign notes.
A good frozen chicken breast package will contain a small amount of clear ice and the product itself will be light, clean and without any visible damage.
