Spicy Chicken
1.
Three yellow chicken drumsticks are chopped into knuckle-sized pieces, or they can be boneless, peeled and cut into small four squares (most of the time I am lazy, neither skin nor bones are removed. This dish has been cooked many times, The pictures are not all shot).
2.
Cut into finger joint size (about 1.5 cm).
3.
Prepare the ingredients: green onion, ginger, garlic, green chili, and dried red chili to remove the seeds and cut into small pieces. Stir-fry the sesame seeds.
4.
Add appropriate amount of green onions, ginger slices, green pepper pieces, a small spoonful of light soy sauce, a large spoonful of cooking wine, 2 grams of salt, 1 small sugar (pinch a little with your index finger and thumb) and 1 small pepper. Grab it with your hands and marinate for 15 minutes.
5.
After 15 minutes, remove the green onion and ginger slices. First add 1 tablespoon of sweet potato starch and stir well, then add 1 teaspoon of oil to stir evenly (this step is mainly for chicken nuggets with skin and bones removed). If there is no skin and bone, it can be added or not added.
6.
Take 250 grams of peanut oil and heat it to 180 degrees (80% hot). Add the diced chicken. Fry on high fire. When the bubbles generated by the water in the pot become less, quickly remove it. This time is relatively short. Do not deep-fry for a long time. If the chicken nuggets lose moisture, the taste will not be good. (There is also a method of boiling in the water twice, and adding some white wine before the second boiling to send it to the boiling, and then fried.)
7.
The state after the first bombing. Appears slightly yellow.
8.
Continue to heat the oil pan. Add the chicken nuggets when the oil temperature becomes high. The chicken nuggets quickly turn golden brown and are quickly taken out.
9.
Put the oil in the wok, first stir fragrant pepper aniseed, then add ginger and garlic slices.
10.
Then add the dried red pepper segments and bay leaves. Stir-fry the whole time to create a fragrance. But chili cannot be fried.
11.
Add the fried chicken nuggets and stir fry quickly. Then sprinkle a small amount of five-spice powder, sugar, and cooked sesame seeds out of the pot.
12.
Spicy chicken is out of the pot!
Tips:
1. When marinating the chicken, you must add enough salt, because the fried chicken is difficult to get salt in, and adding salt in the later stage will only be on the surface of the chicken and cannot be soaked.
2. The second frying can ensure a crisp appearance, save oil and quickly color, if you keep frying, it will cause too much water loss;
3. When frying the dried red peppers, peppers, and star anise, be sure to use a low heat to sauté them slowly, and the aroma is good.
