Launched regularly every Sunday, welcome to taste!
Guangzhou people eat, no chicken is not happy, and there are many delicacies made with chicken as raw materials. In this issue of Food Detective, Xiaobian will take you to try the "first chicken in Guangzhou" - Qingping chicken.
Qingping chicken
In 1964, the Qingping Hotel in Liwan District opened, and in 1981, Qingping Chicken was developed. At that time, the chef of Qingping Hotel developed a white brine with medicinal spices to soak the chicken instead of clear soup, and made this famous dish that made the chicken bones taste good.
Qingping chicken skin is smooth and smooth, known as the first of the "Top Ten Famous Chickens in Guangdong" and the "First Chicken in Guangzhou", and the neighbors have tried to talk about it. On the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival in 1988, the public competed for the purchase of Qingping chickens, and the sales volume reached 5,080 on this day alone.
Unfortunately, 14 years ago, The Ching Ping Hotel regretted its closure.
Today, the Ching Ping Hotel is no longer there, but you can still eat familiar tastes in the restaurants along Baohua Road. Xiaobian recently went to Wenji Yixin Chicken to reminisce.
Uncle Wen, the owner of the shop, is an old employee of Qingping Hotel, who once learned the production method of Qingping chicken with Huang Yuan, the master of Qingping Hotel.
Authentic heritage, try it out!
Price: 108 yuan / piece, 55 yuan / half
As soon as the chicken was on the table, just looking at the transparent chicken skin and the attractive white meat on the cut surface, the "battle-hardened" mouth Jun said to the editor: "Let me taste it, this taste is definitely incredible."
There are three ways to taste
I can eat a different flavor
1
Taste only chicken
In this way, the original taste of chicken can be best tasted, and the sweetness of chicken is intertwined with the umami taste of the broth, filling the entire mouth.
2
Serve with a secret ginger and shallot dipping sauce
The ginger in the dipping sauce is made of large meat yellow ginger, which is crisp and tender in taste and mild in spicy taste. Chicken dipped in ginger and shallots adds a more intense flavor.
3
Dip in ginger and shallots and eat with raw shallots
Pick up the chicken in the bunk and see fresh shallots inside. Chicken dipped in ginger and shallots is a different flavor when eaten with raw shallots.
The chicken is soaked in a broth made with medicinal herbs, and the finishing touch is the super-cold soup: the cold soup is poured over the chicken body, the chicken skin becomes refreshing, and the chicken shrinks slightly, retaining more gravy.
Xiaobian put the chicken into the mouth, bite through the refreshing chicken skin, the tender meat is fragrant, and the upper meat brings excellent taste. Xiaobian's "food view" was impacted, because when I tasted the bones, there was even a taste! No wonder this dish has frequently appeared in online reviews with eight words: the skin is smooth and the meat is smooth, and the bones are flavorful.
Secret red date bone
There is also this secret red date bone worth trying in the shop.
The sweet but not greasy seasoning is stunning, and the softness of the mouth is even more worthy of praise. After a long slow simmer, the meat and bone are extremely easy to separate, and the bones also have a strong aroma of red dates.
Peanut lotus root chicken claw soup
Guangzhou people can not eat without the moisture of soup, Wenji's peanut lotus root chicken claw soup is also a classic soup.
Lotus root is clear and delicious, healthy spleen and appetizer, and the collagen contained in chicken feet also has cosmetic effects.
Wenji Yixin Chicken won a lot of honors, Xiaobian arrived at the store in the afternoon of the same day, full of seats, which shows the good reputation of word of mouth, so that the small shops in the streets and alleys are also like clouds.
