red spots on the chicken
Are those red spots on the chicken ok? or does it mean chicken has got some bacteria or it is not fresh?
Best Answer
They are little blood spots, perfectly safe to eat but often a sign of cheap and/or poor welfare birds. As long as you cook it properly (take it to at least 140f) its fine to eat.
