3. Notes when cooking chicken porridge

To cook delicious chicken porridge, you need to know how to choose fresh, delicious chicken.

For live chickens, choose healthy ones with smooth feathers, flexible movement, and no discharge from eyes and nose. Avoid buying chickens that look lethargic, have a slightly droopy tail, move slowly, have ruffled body feathers, stand-up feathers on the head, and are slightly damp.

For ready-made chicken, you should buy the one with the characteristic golden yellow skin. The outer skin is thin, smooth to the touch, not too rough and has good elasticity.

The chicken meat inside has a natural pink-red color, not too light or too dark. In particular, the chicken meat does not have bruises or blood clots. If the meat is slightly pale or turns dark gray, it means the chicken died before being slaughtered.

When buying, you should carefully observe the expiration date and packaging date, and buy chicken with a production date closest to the purchase date. In addition, check to see if the bag mouths are intact.

You should choose native chicken to make the porridge delicious, sweet, fragrant and the meat firmer.

During the cooking process, to make the chicken cook evenly and taste better, remember to turn the chicken while boiling. To know if the chicken is cooked, you can use a chopstick to pierce it.

To make the dish more delicious, you should increase or decrease the spices depending on your family's taste.

Because the porridge has been seasoned, be careful when adding the seasoning to the chicken, otherwise the porridge will be too salty. In addition, to prevent the porridge from burning, remember to stir the porridge frequently during the cooking process.

Here is a simple yet delicious way to cook chicken porridge. Show off your skills for your family to enjoy. Good luck!
