Today to talk about a very delicious dish, that is, the field chicken, we in Chongqing called "blind abduction", outsiders may not understand, I still prefer the Sichuan side of the saying, Sichuan side called "field cat", this statement is more cute, today is about the boiled field chicken, we use the field chicken to call Ha! Don't underestimate the field chicken, although the field chicken only has a little meat, but how to say it? Concentration is essence! Like bullfrog meat is more, but I personally do not like to eat, feel bullfrog and toad is very similar, can not eat!
First of all, buy a field chicken, be sure to buy wild, the raised field chicken feels that the meat is not strong enough, and it is not so tender when boiled! Of course, wild ones are now difficult to buy, ninety-nine percent are raised, don't listen to the people who sell field chickens, what to catch from Guizhou, is completely fooling people! You can also catch it yourself, but now it is difficult to catch, in the past, every year in August and September, I would go to the field with my friends to catch, the more I caught, the less I grasped, many people said that they were caught less, in fact, I think there are fewer wild pheasants, not because they are caught more, but because the living environment of the pheasants is getting worse and worse!
I still remember when I was a child, when I was still in elementary school, every time I finished school and played on the street until it was almost dark, I started to go home, passing next to the rice field, all the way over, I heard the sound of the chicken jumping from the road to the water, it was really super! At that time, there were more people who ate field chickens, but every time others went out at night to catch field chickens, they could easily catch more than ten pounds, so why are there fewer and fewer field chickens now? I think it is because there are fewer people planting crops, in the past, many fields that planted grain, if they did not plant, they could plant for others, but when others planted and harvested, they had to give you hundreds of pounds of grain, and now they don't want grain to be planted by others, and no one is willing to plant it! If there is less grain to grow, there will not be so many pests to eat in the field chickens! Also, pesticides can kill some of the eggs of field chickens!
Then let's talk about how to make boiled field chicken! First of all, after the field chicken was bought back, I cleaned it up one by one, and some of them were not cleaned up when they bought it! After cleaning up, wash it with salt a few times, put a little white wine, and a few egg whites! Then we heat the pot, put in the oil, after the oil is hot, put in turn, ginger garlic, peppercorns, pepper, bean paste, star anise, cumin, fragrant leaves, lard, green onions, stir-fried incense, add some water, put the chicken down to cook, cooking time, I personally prefer to cook for a long time, because the egg white is added, the more tender it is cooked, the more flavorful! This I also had once, with the field chicken hot pot only found out, began to cook for five minutes, and then eat the meat is very old, and then the longer cooked, the more tender the meat, the better delicious! When the field chicken is cooked almost, you can put a little loofah in it, and we eat field chicken here basically cook the loofah inside, because after putting the loofah, the taste is very fresh! After cooking, pour the chicken into a pot, pour some chili noodles, peppercorns, sesame seeds on top, and then drizzle some hot oil, so that the taste is very fragrant!
In fact, in addition to boiling the chicken, other methods are also very tasty, such as directly with oil and green millet spicy, and then add some onion ginger garlic stir-fry, without adding water, the fried field chicken is also very delicious, put a lot of green millet spicy, cut into small pieces, there is a chili flavor in it, this estimate is only more love spicy friends to understand!
Finally, let me tell you about the tips for buying field chicken, the more winter, for example, now is the off-season to buy field chicken, the price is very cheap, hot days in August and September, the price of field chicken is the most expensive time! I started this year from August, every month will go to buy once or twice, the price is cheaper than once, I remember in August to buy, the price is 28 a pound, and then this month on the 13th to buy once, the price is 18 yuan a pound, so it is very recommended that you go to buy in the off-season, because the same money, off-season to buy to eat, you can eat more pheasant! You can buy it to try it, and you can guarantee that Ba Shi is very good!
