1.What chicken is suitable for making chicken soup?
Free-range local chicken: In China, there are various types of chickens, and chickens raised by households are referred to as free-range local chickens. These chickens are preferred for stewing soup because they are fed on grains, insects, and natural foods without commercial feed. As a result, free-range local chickens have higher nutritional value, containing rich antioxidants, with tender meat and a delicate, smooth texture.
2.How to store chicken broth?
For short-term storage, you can store chicken broth directly in the refrigerator under refrigeration, taking care to seal it and store it properly so that it does not harbor bacteria that can lead to spoilage. Refrigerated storage time is relatively short and should be consumed as soon as possible.
For long term storage, you can choose to pour the chicken broth into ice cube molds and place them in the freezer. When needed, you can take out a few pieces to thaw and use, which is not only convenient and quick, but also clean and hygienic.
You can also use a new type of instant liquid chicken broth that can be preserved for a long time to process and store freshness, through specific processing and storage methods, so that the chicken broth can be preserved for up to 100 days under microfrozen conditions.
