Regional cuisine, as a symbol of the party, can always blossom and bear fruit all over the country. This is all due to the convenience of transportation information in today's era. I don't know what well-known foreign cuisines are stationed in your city. Shaxian snacks, Lanzhou ramen noodles, Wuhan hot dry noodles, etc., are all quietly appearing in the streets and alleys you are familiar with, and slowly blending into your time.
Xinjiang cuisine is one of the most representative and has local characteristics. For example, lamb kebabs, grilled buns, and pilaf, just mentioning the name can make people think of this beautiful place in Xinjiang. Today, I want to introduce a special food from Xinjiang, Shawan large plate chicken. This name is not unfamiliar to everyone, but it is an interesting story to mention its origin.
The founder of Dapan Chicken, a Sichuan master's taste of the jianghu
It is said that in the 1980s, there was a jianghu restaurant that opened on the side of the road. Its main diners are long-distance freight or passenger drivers, because the distance is long, these drivers are often in a state of hunger. The food made by this shop is exactly the appetizer of these people, but its name was not called big plate chicken at first.
Amazingly, although it is a famous dish in Xinjiang, the founder of this dish is a Sichuan master. He is good at seasoning with chili peppers, mixing potatoes, chicken, green peppers and other ingredients to make spicy fried chicken, so that countless diners who pass by here can enjoy it. Over time, this kind of spicy fried chicken with a large plate was also called a large plate of chicken by people.
Near Shawan No. 3 Middle School, you can find the founder's shop. The sign of the store is particularly large, it looks very grand, and the store is relatively ordinary. When you come to this shop, you can not only see the details of the culture of the big plate chicken on the wall. You can also read a biography of the dish, a benefit that no other restaurant has.
Franchise stores are all over the country, but locals do not like to eat in this store
The taste of large plates of chicken, I believe many friends are not strangers. Although the various brands of big plate chicken restaurants have their own characteristics, there is one thing that I think they do not have much difference, that is, the taste of the big plate chicken itself. Just like Lanzhou ramen, even if the chefs of the noodles are different, the taste is not much different, and the feeling of the large plate of chicken is the same.
The same is true of this shop, where the way it is cooked and how it is seasoned dominates everything, and even though there are several large plates of chicken with different side dishes, their taste will not change much fundamentally. Chicken is pressed with a pressure cooker, the overall taste is slightly chai, but it is very satisfying, personally feel that the chicken thigh chicken wing part is the most delicious, to be honest, these two parts are delicious.
Potatoes are very flavorful, and if you don't eat staple foods, you feel that this is the best substitute. The soup base of the large plate of chicken is relatively thick, and whether it is rice bowl or noodle cover, it can make people eat a beautiful meal. The amount of 118 yuan of chicken in a large plate, 3 strong men may not be able to eat it all. Curiously, although the franchisees of this store are all over the country, the locals do not like to eat here.
summary
I don't know if you will have the same idea as me, when the scale of a delicacy is from small to large, the taste it should have been bound by process and standardization. Originally made to cater to the tastes of the locals, the large plate of chicken is now catering to the tastes of more regional diners, so the locals do not like to eat it, perhaps for this reason. Old Iron, do you think so?
