Taro chicken is one of the most common home-cooked dishes in Chongqing. The texture of the chicken is tender and smooth, spicy but not dry, and the taro cakes are sweet.
I remember that when I first arrived in the north, I wanted to eat taro chicken. I wanted to buy freshly slaughtered live chicken for the sake of good taste and peace of mind. I went to several vegetable markets. I didn’t even see the chicken feathers, let alone the taro. , I finally found a store that sold them, all of them were shriveled, and the total amount was less than two catties. The stall owner said that no one would buy it and would not eat it.
It's good now. Generally, there is a large vegetable market that sells live chickens. Although the quantity is not large, you can at least buy them. The taro is better. Shandong taro has a very good taste. "

Tips:
1. The taro mucus contains saponins, which can irritate the skin. You can wear gloves to scrape the skin. You can also sprinkle salt or vinegar on your hands after scraping the skin and bake it over a little fire so that your hands will not be itchy.

2. When you go to the market to buy taro aberdeen, you should choose a small and round one. This kind of taro aberdeen is fresh and smooth and tastes excellent.

3. Homemade chili sauce is a personal taste. It is made by smashing fresh red peppers, adding white wine, salt, and lettuce oil.

4. Taro Aberdeen is a kind of coarse grains, rich in dietary fiber and starch. You can't eat more at one time, otherwise you will easily feel full and cause gastrointestinal upset.
