When the weather turns cold, the family loves to eat some cooking, stew and the like. The chicken and chestnuts on the market are quite fresh, so let's come to 【Chinese Chestnut Roast Chicken】. In other words, I learned this [Chestnut Roast Chicken] from the chef's father who is over 60 years old. The braised pork that I used to cook looked greasy, and the color was not reddish brown. Although my husband would eat it all up, I guess he was spitting out in his heart. Later, I deliberately learned his cooking recipe from my dad, only to realize that I had done the first step wrong. First, when the braised pork is stir-fried in the pan, try to force out the oil as much as possible, and then stir-fry with rock sugar to get the sugar color, and stir-fry evenly with the braised pork. In this way, the braised pork will have an attractive reddish brown color, and it will not taste greasy. As the saying goes, it's always the same, chestnut roast chicken is also a braised dish, it can also be cooked in braised pork. Ever since, the best chicken recipe in my opinion [Chestnut Roasted Chicken] was born. The chicken is crispy and the chestnut flour is glutinous. It makes people drool before it is out of the pot. My husband likes this dish so much. It has become his favorite. My family must eat it every week. Mom and Dad also like to make chicken like this. They have eaten dishes for decades, and they still don’t get tired of it. The more they eat, the more they like it~~O(∩_∩)O~~
PS: The chicken must be sautéed a bit harder, it is especially crispy, and it tastes especially fragrant when nibbling, and it is especially enjoyable. "
