What is a light chicken?

Light chickens are raw chickens slaughtered and unhaired at room temperature, that is, chickens placed outside chicken stalls in vegetable markets. A related word is called fresh chicken, also called chilled chicken, which refers to raw chicken slaughtered and preserved at 0-4 degrees Celsius, and it tastes good. There is also a word called frozen chicken, which is directly frozen at MINUS 18 degrees Celsius after slaughter and tastes bad.

In our daily life, we mainly contact naked chickens and live chickens, among which naked chickens generally rely on live chicken slaughter stalls to blend in the whole vegetable market, so there is a high risk of bird flu transmission in the process of slaughter, transportation and sales. At present, Guangzhou is promoting live chickens. The main measures are to limit the slaughter sites of live chickens, set up live poultry management restricted areas, and realize the industrialization and quarantine unification of live chicken production lines, which not only ensures the safety, but also takes into account the taste of live chickens. However, the problem lies in the overall processing and storage costs of fresh chickens.
