During the Mid-Autumn Festival, I specially bought a chai chicken to prepare a delicious chicken dish. Compared with foreign chickens in supermarkets, Chaiji has harder bones, tighter meat, and more fragrant taste. Of course, it takes longer! The iron kettle rice cooker does not have a special braising function, but I used its steaming function, and still made stewed chicken with a beautiful meat flavor. In addition, I added a piece of tofu, smoked and stewed together, so that the dried tofu can not only condense the chicken. The flavor is well absorbed, adding more nutrients to this dish.
This chai chicken is so big, nearly three kilograms, after I chopped it into small pieces, I only used most of it for braising, and at least half of the rest for soup. One chicken eats two. "
