If you are thinking of removing mold or cutting off infected meat to avoid food waste, forget it. Mold can penetrate the chicken without being visible to the eye.
In addition, eating moldy chicken is very dangerous and can cause food poisoning.
4. Texture of chicken
If you feel a film, slime or slime in raw chicken, it means that the chicken is not fresh and should be thrown in the trash immediately. Fresh chicken should be soft, shiny and smooth, not slimy. Loose chicken will stick to your hands and should not be processed.
Cooked chicken should always be firm. When cutting the meat, the meat should be compact, soft and juicy without being slimy and sticky. If you notice a slight change in the chicken, it is probably not safe to eat anymore.
5. Check the expiration date of chicken
Fresh chicken in stores or supermarkets usually has an expiration date. And looking at it will tell you if the chicken has spoiled or not.
Some stores or supermarkets also add an expiration date, which means that the chicken can be used for more than a day.
Therefore, it is best to check the expiration date before cooking chicken.
