Drunken chicken and drunken duck, bad brine platter seems to have always been a must-have cold dish on the banquet table of Shanghainese, perhaps not only Shanghai, many places have a variety of pickled brine cold dishes in the food culture, which can be said to be a must-have item for drinking and talking. I've been eating that old-fashioned chicken recipe, I'm a little tired of eating, and I accidentally saw another food blogger make a drunken chicken roll, which instantly aroused my interest. Today I plan to follow the menu and try it once.
This drunken chicken I made is still very delicious, but after all, the recipe is not dead, like a sweeter taste can add some rock sugar into it, like to eat spicy flavor can also add a little dried pepper, pepper and the like, so that the drunken chicken is very delicious, although a little complicated, but the taste is good. Friends who like this taste can make it, a good summer food.
