Here are some tips for safely handling chicken products, turkey products and other
poultry:
Chicken Products and Turkey Products Shopping Tips:
- The package label shows what parts are contained in the package, the chicken product
description, the total weight, the date to sell-by, and nutrition information.
- The "sell-by" date is 7 to 10 days after the chicken was slaughtered and
if properly refrigerated it should remain fresh 2 to 3 days after that date. If
it is a "used-by" date, the chicken should be cooked or frozen by that
date.
- Choose moist, plump chicken with a skin that is not patchy or discolored.
- Avoid choosing a chicken that has ice formation.
- Read the label to determine how the product should be cooked to specification.
Karn Meats Chicken Products and Turkey Products Freezing Tips:
- When preparing chicken or chicken products for freezing, choose only
moisture proof bags. Be sure all packages are marked with the content and the date
the chicken was frozen.
- Wrapping individual chicken parts with freezer wrap and place in a freezer
bag to allow you to take out the number of pieces you will need.
- Promptly freeze fresh chicken to insure best quality.
- Do not thaw chicken at room temperature. Thaw frozen chicken using one
of three methods: in the refrigerator; in a cold water bath, changing the water
every 30 minutes; or in the microwave.
Karn Meats Chicken Products and Turkey Products Thawing Tips:
- Be sure the chicken or turkey, particularly a large whole bird, is defrosted thoroughly
to ensure proper cooking. Place a hand inside the cavity of the chicken or turkey
to check for ice crystals. If any crystals are present, more thawing time is needed.
- Cook thawed chicken products or turkey products as soon as possible. If not using
the chicken or turkey immediately, refrigerate and use within 24 hours of thawing.
Do not refreeze.
- The giblets should be removed from the cavity of a whole chicken as soon as thawing
allows.
- Be sure drippings of thawing chicken products or turkey products do not contaminate
other food or preparation surfaces.
- All chicken products and turkey products must be cooked to specification for safe
internal temperatures and safely handling chicken and turkey.
