#冬日生活打卡季#

Once upon a time, on a sweltering summer afternoon, I came across a mouth-watering delicacy – rattan pepper chicken thighs. I happened to taste it at a time-honored restaurant while I was visiting relatives in Pudong. The table is filled with tantalizing rattan pepper chicken thighs, and the unique aroma wafts out, as if with a hint of warmth. I scooped a spoonful of the rich sauce and took a small sip, as if I felt the freshness of the summer mountains and the coolness of the breeze.

Due to its unique spicy flavor and relatively simple production process, rattan pepper chicken thighs are highly regarded by many time-honored restaurants. One of the most famous restaurants in Shanghai is the "Buddha Jumping Over the Wall" restaurant, which has become a popular destination for many diners due to its excellent taste and affordable price. And the "Three Flavors" restaurant in Beijing is also a place where gourmets compete to taste this delicacy. In addition, in the Internet era, some online celebrity stores have begun to promote this delicacy, such as the "Spicy Couple" restaurant, which has specially introduced rattan pepper chicken thighs in the menu that is different from the traditional taste.

Before we are ready to start cooking rattan pepper chicken thighs, we need to prepare the following ingredients and seasonings: fresh chicken thighs, 10 grams of ginger, 10 grams of garlic cloves, 20 grams of rattan peppers, 20 grams of dried chilies, appropriate amount of oil, salt, light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, sugar and cooking wine.

The steps are as follows:

Wash the chicken thighs, cut them into index finger-sized pieces, put them in a bowl, add an appropriate amount of salt, light soy sauce, cooking wine and ginger slices, stir well, and marinate for 20 minutes.
Put the rattan pepper and dried chili pepper into the hot oil pan and stir-fry until fragrant, then remove and set aside.
Add chili oil to the pan, add garlic cloves and ginger and sauté until fragrant.
Add the marinated chicken thighs to the pan and fry until the thighs are lightly browned on both sides.
Next, add the freshly stir-fried rattan pepper and dried chili pepper and continue to stir-fry evenly.
Finally, pour in an appropriate amount of light soy sauce, dark soy sauce and sugar, and stir-fry until the flavor is cooked through.

In the process of production, we can pay attention to some details. First of all, the chicken thighs should be fresh, so as to ensure the tenderness of the taste. Secondly, vegetables can be adjusted according to individual tastes. If you like a stronger spicy flavor, you can increase the amount of rattan pepper and dried chili pepper in moderation. In addition, keep the heat medium-low when frying the chicken thighs, so that the chicken thighs can be fried while maintaining the tender texture.

Rattan pepper chicken thigh is a fusion of Sichuan and local cuisine, with a unique spicy taste and tender texture of chicken, which is mouth-watering. Cooking this dish isn't just about filling your stomach, it's about being a way to express your heart. Whether it's during cooking or while eating, it's a great way to show your family and friends your love of cooking.
