Zaozhuang Spicy Chicken
1.
Material selection instructions
Chicken~~The best young roosters to be killed right now, preferably 1 year free-range young roosters, chop small pieces... just wash it, no need to soak in blood, no blanching, no frying, no pickling, just stir fry, This kind of chicken is the freshest and the best when it is fried. It will definitely not have a fishy smell after it is cooked. Don't worry... If it is not sold in the market, then chilled chicken is better than frozen chicken (please defrost and then fry), chicken is the best It is good to chop small pieces, but large pieces are not recommended (if local free-range young roosters are not available, three-yellow chickens are recommended for breeding chickens. Never use hens, hemp chickens and broilers)...If it is an old rooster with pedals on its legs, definitely It takes a long, long time to stew, depending on the length of the kick. Generally, an old rooster can only bite after an hour.
Chili~~The local thin-skinned chili pepper in Zaozhuang is the most authentic. If you can't buy it, you can use Chaotian pepper, screw pepper, hot pepper, and millet pepper instead. Sweet pepper, space pepper and other non-spicy peppers are not recommended. The biggest feature of this dish It is spicy, very fragrant and fragrant. The principle is to buy what hot peppers are in the local area. Peppers are really important... (Don’t put peppers because you can’t eat them. Peppers are the soul of this dish)
Sauce~~The locals will use Baodu brand vinegar, sweet noodle sauce and Baodu brand soy sauce, and now there is also a special soy sauce for Baodu brand spicy chicken, which is the most authentic flavor when made with this brand. Remember to pay the advertising fee), it may not be available in other places, just use other brands instead, not to mention light soy sauce and soy sauce. If soy sauce, please use non-GMO, non-defatted soybean brewed soy sauce (super expensive 😭)
The main function of vinegar is to make bones crisp and easy to deboning, and it also has the purpose of removing the fishy smell. Generally, rice vinegar is used, which is not high in acidity and is easy to volatilize. If the aging acidity is too high, it is difficult to volatilize sour taste. White vinegar and balsamic vinegar are basically never used.
The amount of soup spoon has not been calculated specifically, it is calculated by the spoon and shovel used for cooking. Chinese food will not be accurate to g, just the right amount.
Side dishes~~ Generally speaking, no side dishes are the best in a restaurant. Potato chips are not used to make up the number... But the fried spicy chicken in the family often adds some side dishes. Generally speaking, only the same is used, and the most in the family Commonly used are potato chips, and you can also put cooked fresh noodles at the bottom (noodle chicken), small twist (twist chicken), clams (clam chicken)...whatever you want to eat, please develop yourself, if it is delicious, please leave a message and let us know I……
(The potato chips are recommended to be crispy, fried for 8 minutes, and the remaining 2 minutes depends on the temperature)
ps. If you can't finish eating, put it in the refrigerator (you can put it on the balcony in the north in winter). You can eat it the next day without heat. Use vegetable water to freeze and eat with rice. Be careful of broken bones. If you don't taste it, you can hit me... You can also sandwich the buns Biscuits and pancakes to eat together

Heat the oil, put the pepper, put the chicken, and then fry on high heat, sauté the moisture
(It may be a little sticky at the beginning, the moisture in the chicken will come out after a few times of frying. The picture shows the moisture from the chicken. Try to fry the moisture as much as possible. It is better to have a crackling sound.)...The characteristics of good fry, The size of the chicken will be noticeably smaller
3.
After sautéing the water, add vinegar, then continue to stir fry, try to fry it dry, it is better to have a crackling sound (the two steps must be patient, the key step for the chicken not to be fishy is not to rely on the material to cover, but to remove the smell Fry away)
4.
The water in the vinegar is about to fry, put a spoonful of sweet noodle sauce, stir well, put the dark soy sauce and light soy sauce, and the cut ginger, continue to stir fry... (If you have soy sauce at home, you can replace the dark soy sauce + light soy sauce)
5.
After stirring evenly, add cooking wine and continue stirring (before cooking this dish, use a pot to boil hot water, be sure to use hot water~~)
6.
Then pour in hot water so that the water does not exceed the chicken. Change the high heat to medium-to-low heat. Cover and simmer slowly until the chicken is cooked.
7.
See that 2/3 of the water is left, add salt, dried chili, and the fire does not change, open the lid and burn~~
8.
When the water is still 1/3, add the chopped green onion, stir-fry over high heat, and collect the juice
(You can put raw side dishes here, such as potato chips)
[Potatoes can be cooked for 8 minutes, and the remaining 2 minutes are stale. The crunchy texture is better than noodles]
9.
The water is about to fry, put in the fresh chili, and continue to stir fry
10.
The soup is almost ready, turn off the heat and put garlic cloves (you can add cooked side dishes, such as small twists, clams)
11.
Before serving, add half of coriander (do not like to leave coriander). Sprinkle with sesame oil and stir-fry evenly
12.
After the chicken is on the plate, sprinkle with the other half of coriander to garnish, and the authentic Zaozhuang spicy chicken is complete~~~
Tips:
PS, chicken must be chopped into small pieces, large pieces are not recommended (large pieces are not tasty, they have woody texture, and are not tasty...)
(Cut the stewed chicken into large pieces, cut the fried chicken into small pieces, cut the fried chicken into whole pieces, and cut the roasted chicken into pieces)
1. What should I do if I am afraid of spicy food?
No solution, the characteristic of Zaozhuang Spicy Chicken is spicy, soul! ! ! The compromise is to eat it with water, but this loses the flavor of the dish itself, try this spicy, you will love it
2. For those who like potatoes, cut the potatoes into thin slices. The taste is better than noodles. It can be cooked at 8 minutes. The other 2 points are cooked at the remaining temperature. Such potatoes are very crispy. Of course, one person, one taste is just a suggestion
3. (★ ★ ★ ★ ★) Spicy chicken can not be finished, put it in the refrigerator, put it on the balcony in the northern winter, and eat it the next day. I found that the vegetable water is more delicious. Mix it with rice, and it’s delicious~~~Be careful Broken bones
4. The water must be hot water, so that the fried meat is tender (tips)
5. What should I do if I have a feud with coriander?
Just let it go, if you let it go and don’t eat it~
6. Regarding two kitchen friends who reported that the chicken tongs were wrong after it was done, after thinking about it, I have fried hundreds of chickens, and this hasn’t really happened... Let’s analyze it, ① maybe the chicken was cut into pieces. It’s too big, ②the frozen chicken is not completely defrosted, ③the cooking time is too short, ④It’s actually cooked, but I don’t think it is cooked...... (Although there are only two reflections, I also try my best to answer questions, thank you 😜)
[Follow-up... I accidentally added a colleague today. He has been using my recipe and left a message saying that he is unfamiliar. After discussion, I finally know the reason. Frozen chicken is fried without defrosting 🤣🤣🤣...]
7. Regarding the problem of oil and pepper, because you start to add more oil and add the chicken itself, the oil will be produced. Some friends say that the problem of pepper... In fact, the solution is very simple. When you lift the lid in the middle to see the moisture, you can use a spoon. The oil on the surface and other ingredients you don’t want, such as pepper, are taken out, and it won’t affect the taste of the pan...
(If you have any questions, you can leave a message, the tips will be updated in the future)
