Frequently Asked Questions
How do I remove the raw smell of the chicken?
You can rub lime juice on the raw chicken pieces and let them sit for a few minutes before washing under cold running water. Repeat if needed.
How can I know if the chicken is perfectly cooked?
Bite-sized chicken pieces don’t take too long to cook. After about 10 minutes of cooking with a few stirs, the chicken should be done. You can break one piece to check if the chicken has turned opaque from the inside.
