The roast chicken I shared today can be said to be the Jianghu cuisine in the Jianghu cuisine. Only made it twice, and it feels like a hot pot restaurant on the street! The side dishes of the traditional roast chicken kilometer noodles seem to have a lot of lettuce, but I asked a friend beforehand. My friend preferred to put potatoes, so he changed it to potatoes. After cooking, let it boil for a while, smell it and find that, yes, this is the fragrance! Maybe you think, how can the food at home be better than the food at the restaurant. Yes, of course it is impossible for me to put flavoring agents, but don't think of cooking as a very complicated thing. If you do it with your heart, it will definitely show a wonderful taste. Don't believe it? Then you can try it yourself!

Chongqing Roast Chicken

1. The main ingredients are ready;

2. Peel and cut potatoes, slice garlic, shred green onion and ginger, cut dried chili into sections, wash and chop big cock into pieces for later use;

3. Put the chicken nuggets into a pot of cold water and heat to a boil. After boiling, remove the chicken nuggets and drain them for later use;

4. Heat the blanched and drained chicken nuggets in a hot oil pan, and set aside;

5. In another wok, heat oil, add Pixian bean paste and fry to make red oil, add peppercorns and dried chili, stir fry, then add onion ginger, garlic slices, star anise and fry until fragrant;

6. Next, stir fry the chicken nuggets, pour in some light soy sauce and salt to taste;

7. Finally, add potatoes, pour in water to cover the chicken nuggets and potatoes, and bring to a boil;

8. Then cover, turn to low heat and simmer until the chicken is overripe, sprinkle some chopped green onion when it comes out of the pan. Because the side dish here is potatoes, it is cooked with the chicken nuggets. If the chicken nuggets are simmered, lettuce is cooked until the lettuce is broken, because lettuce is easy to cook.

9. If you want to save time, switch to a pressure cooker after the fire is boiled. (An old-fashioned pressure cooker with a 90kpa pressure can take 15-20 minutes, and an electric pressure cooker with a 50-80kpa pressure can add some time to it.)

Tips:
1. Add the water in the pot, so that the chicken nuggets and potatoes have not been used;
2. Adjust the amount of dried chili and Pixian bean paste according to personal taste. If you can't eat spicy food, you can put less dried chilies.
