**Watch out for the #TalkingPointCNA two-part special that looks into Singapore’s chicken supply crisis, starting June 23.

Is there really a frozen chicken ‘taste’ or ‘smell’? In this #TalkingPointExtra, we challenge six fans of the show to spot the difference between fresh and frozen chicken.

For the taste-off, Chef Remus Seow of hawker stall Fukudon cooks fresh and frozen chicken four ways: Poached, oven-roasted, fried and stewed. In which preparation will our testers be better able to tell the difference between fresh and frozen - and which dish did they all guess 100% wrong?

A food scientist explains why certain cooking methods may be better for frozen chicken; while Chef Remus shares his best practices on thawing and preparing frozen chicken for cooking.
