It's been 20 days since I've been at home, and the big rooster that showed off to my friends the other day was time to be on the table today. In the past, it was always difficult for Xiaobian to make chicken, no matter how long it was simmered. Especially when the whole chicken is made, the "chicken breast" is always left because there is no taste. Although it is not wasted, it is always mixed with other dishes and re-fried before it is eliminated.
Recently, Xiaobian and her mother-in-law learned the method of salt baked chicken. The flavor is really fragrant, and the aroma penetrates into every trace of the chicken's meat. Although it is slightly flavorful, it does not make the chicken salty because of the strong taste. The production process is also very simple, and the cooking time only takes 20-40 minutes. This time also depends on the size of the chick. But no matter how big the chicks will not take more than an hour to cook.
To make a delicious salt-baked chicken, you must first start by choosing raw chicken. 1. Fresh chicken with full meat and normal smell. Look closely at the skin of the chicken and find that it is very fresh and has not been injected with any injections. This kind of chicken is also more expensive, not very cheap. 2. After pressing the chicken with your fingers, the chicken is easy to recover immediately. The flesh is shiny and does not turn yellow and dull. Generally choose to kill chicken now, the meat quality will be better, when a healthy chicken shed its hair, it will not close its eyes. 3. Observe the thickness of the chicken's soles. Some chicken paws are too thick, indicating that the chicken walks on the ground for a long time, the chicken is older, and some chicken paws are thin, indicating that the walking time is short, and the chicken is tender.
Salt-baked chicken: rich flavor, smooth skin, slightly yellowish color, crispy skin and tender meat, fresh and fragrant bone meat, attractive flavor.
Ingredient Preparation:
Ingredients: 1 chick.
Marinated chicken ingredients: white wine, sugar, chicken essence, concentrated fresh powder, salt baked chicken spices,
Soup: Green onion, ginger, 6g cinnamon, 10g licorice, 6 gardenias, fragrant leaves, monk fruit.
Preparation steps:
Step 1.
Soak the chicks in clean water and rinse them. The washed chicks are then drained to dry. (This step is easier to suck the chicken's water dry with kitchen paper) And then control the dry chicken, coat the white wine, sugar, chicken essence, concentrated fresh powder, salt baked chicken spices and an appropriate amount of salt from the inside to the outside. Cover the seasoned chicks with plastic wrap and marinate in the refrigerator overnight.
Step 2
Add green onion, ginger, 6g cinnamon, 10g licorice, 6 gardenias, fragrant leaves and monk fruit to a boil in water. The chicken is then lifted upside down and immersed in boiling water. Repeat this several times to allow the marinated flavor to be effectively preserved in the chick.
Step 3
After soaking the chickens in hot water a few times, put the chickens in a pot and bring the broth to a boil. Then turn to low heat and simmer for 20-40 minutes. (Xiaobian this chicken weighs 3 pounds and cooks for about 25 minutes)
Step 4
Wait until the chickens are soft and simmer for 1 hour. After an hour, fish it out, then control the soup on the chicken, let it cool and eat it.
Such a tasteful salt-baked chicken is ready. The salt-baked chicken is full of flavor even the most unsavory chicken breast. Chicken is rich in protein, and its fat contains unsaturated fatty acids, so it is a better protein food for the elderly and patients with cardiovascular disease.
Broken Thoughts Tips:
1. When cooking chickens, be sure to adjust the cooking time according to the size of the chicken, and observe the degree of chicken crispness at any time. So as not to overcook the chicken and not form.
2. The plan of the year lies in the spring, and the temperature difference between day and night in this season is relatively large. Especially now that it is early spring, it is most suitable for eating foods with relatively high calories. However, because of its high calories, it is best to eat it in the morning or at noon, and try to eat less at night.
