Why does my chicken broth smell like eggs?

The smell of chicken broth can sometimes take on an egg-like odor. This is usually caused by the breakdown of proteins in the chicken during cooking, releasing sulfur-containing compounds which give off a sulfuric egg-like smell. To reduce the odor, cook the broth for a shorter period of time and add a few tablespoons of white vinegar or lemon juice to the broth. This can help reduce the egg-like smell.

Is it bad if chicken smells like eggs?

If chicken smells like eggs, it could be a sign that it has gone bad. The best way to tell if chicken has gone bad is if it has a sour or ammonia-like smell, or if it has any visible mold or discoloration. If any of these signs are present, the chicken should be discarded. Additionally, if the chicken has been left out at room temperature for more than two hours, it should also be discarded.

What does spoiled chicken broth smell like?

Spoiled chicken broth has a sour, off-putting smell that is hard to miss. It may also have a slimy or slimy-looking texture, with a slightly yellowish or greyish-green color. The smell is usually much stronger than that of fresh chicken broth and may be accompanied by a pungent, ammonia-like odor. If you suspect that your chicken broth is spoiled, it’s best to discard it and make a new batch.
