The first time I ate strange chicken, I thought it was very tasty, the taste was delicious, and the habit of eating was not how strange, but the taste type was more complex, so I wondered why I wanted to call this taste a strange taste. In fact, the strange taste here is different from the taste of modern people, the previous dishes tasted relatively single, and people's impression of taste only stayed on the basic cognition, so the new taste of various taste compounds was called strange, not belonging to any known flavor type at that time.
The best taste mastery is to balance the flavors and not to compete with each other.
Want to be weird and not crooked is the key to this dish, the number of spices can be seen in the strange taste, the best proportion of various spices is to put the spices into the need to achieve a balance of taste, hemp, spicy, sweet, salty, fresh, fragrant and both, and the taste is not abrupt, but can taste their own taste.
In Yibin, Sichuan, the strange flavor chicken is more famous, about 60 years of history. In the 1930s, Yibin people made "Yibin Strange Flavor Chicken" on the basis of the production method of "Jiayang Strange Flavor Chicken". "Strange Chicken" is made with white skin and a baby rooster, and the meat is tender and refreshing. Then the chicken legs are tied tightly with hemp rope, boiled in warm water, and constantly added cold water and other ingredients to the pot, after the chicken is cooked, the shape is strange and spicy, sweet and tender. More than 20 kinds of spices such as refined soy sauce are used to make a saucer. The finished product is spicy, spicy, sweet, salty, fresh and fragrant, and the meat is tender and refreshing, and the flavor is unique.
The reason why Sichuan's strange chicken is "strange" is because when making it, after using all the sugar, vinegar, ginger, garlic, onion, monosodium glutamate, etc. used for seasoning, it uses salty, sweet, sour, hemp, fragrant, and fresh, and no one can say which type of chicken this chicken belongs to, so it becomes "strange chicken". The taste of this chicken is tender and strange, and it has a different taste.
Modern people's taste buds have long been different from before, spices, ingredients, methods are in contact with a lot, domestic and foreign dishes are also involved, so the compound taste in the strange chicken is not surprising to everyone. Recently, the weather has been hot, but it is very suitable for making such an appetizing cold dish.
