Hi @Hello everyone! I am the kitten of "Kitten Loves Kitchen", and today I met you again to share life, share food, and share happiness! Today's kitten brings you a famous dish that we Sichuanese love to eat: "lollipop chicken", which is a special existence in the cuisine. It is a cold dish in meat, and it is natural to use it in summer to serve wine and appetizers. It's also pretty awesome to use it for dinner!
Lollipop chicken is also called "Jiading lollipop chicken" and "Leshan lollipop chicken". This dish originated from Hanyang Dam in Leshan, and is now Hanyang Town, Qingshen County, Meishan City. Take the fine breed of Hanyang chicken, cook it, and then use a wooden stick to beat the chicken and eat it. Lollipop chicken is a Sichuan specialty. It belongs to the cold dish in Sichuan cuisine, the main ingredient is chicken, and its taste is numb, spicy, sour, sweet, fresh, salty, and fragrant.
The key to the "lollipop chicken" is actually in the sauce. Spicy taste is essential, of course, if the bottom is a bowl of hot and spicy red oil, in order to be considered solid, in fact, the earliest heard of lollipop chicken, only think that this name is really cute, the taste must be great! But really, the origin of this name has nothing to do with the taste. The lollipop chicken I made today did not use the whole chicken, and considering the operability of everyone at home, I changed it to chicken breast. After careful beating with my family's ancestral rolling pin and accompanied by a secret sauce, the flavor type belongs to the "strange taste", which is a particularly delicious dish. Well, a little bit more, the following introduction to the production method.
