Chicken im Chems: now thats „Amerikas Test Kitchen“!
Oh come on. I have returned chicken to my store and it just smelled rotting, sour…I am sure NOT taking it out and rinsing this smelly chicken in my kitchen is a great idea.
I wish Lan Lam had her own TV show.
Costco chicken is always so stinky smelly. I stopped buying it ages ago. Just can’t bare the smell
I usually find it’s the absorbent mat they put it at the bottom is what smells.
Like fine wine
I swear there needs to be an app
It could be both. If you take 3 -4 sniffs, and it’s not good throw it out
I can smell and taste when chicken has been processed using a chlorine bath, so I buy air chilled chicken.
I have never noticed that smell with chicken, so I guess I've been lucky. Thanks though because now I will know if I smell that odor.
Wash your 🐔s bois
"Ideally". She's trying so hard to be diplomatic here. LOL.
Another reason to wash your chicken
I like that saying when in doubt throw it out. Not worth food poisoning
dont rinse your chicken. youre just spreading salmonella particles everywhere.
