Always make sure you check to make sure the chicken you eat has not gone bad before you eat it and risk possible sickness.
These simple steps can help you distinguish between the good and bad chicken.
• Check the color, smell, and texture for any discrepancies.
• If the fowl is frozen, watch for ice and freezer burn.
• It would be best if you concluded whether the chicken has been appropriately stored and for how long.
• Make sure that the chicken is a pinkish color and not a greyish color because if the meat is grey, it means that it has already gone bad.
• Bad chicken does not cook the same as unspoiled chicken.
• Chicken that has not gone bad will cook into more of white fleshy color.
• Whiff the poultry.
• Raw chicken that has gone rotten has a very putrid odor.
• It is often described as being offensive.
• If the chicken has begun to emanate a foul odor, you should not take any chances and throw it out.
• Feel the chicken.
• If it is slimy, it isn't good.
• This situation can be a bit more challenging to determine than the color or the smell because chicken naturally is somewhat soft and slimy to touch.
• If the slime is still there after washing it, this means that it is most likely no good.
• If the chicken feels sticky, it is another sign that it has gone bad.
• We all take a risk when we eat any meat, but it is helpful to know the distinct features of good chicken and bad chicken so that you can consume it safely.
