First of all, prepare a larger lotus leaf, a catty of better glutinous rice, a freshly slaughtered chicken, a little bit of white fruit and chestnuts.

The ingredients are even simpler, just a little monosodium glutamate (MSG) and salt, a little garlic and soy sauce.

Then began to pack chicken, first of all, cut the chicken into uniform chicken pieces, pot pour a moderate amount of oil, wait until the oil temperature is hot when the chicken pieces turned to the pan inside the fire stir-fry. Wait until the chicken is fried half-cooked when the chicken to take out, and then just said the garlic and chili pepper fried, will just half-cooked chicken pieces back into the pan with chili and garlic continue to stir fry, stir fry after the onion into the monosodium glutamate and salt. After the super good after taking out and set aside.

Then cook the chestnuts and white fruit and set aside. Then the lotus leaf flat on the top of the board, in the lotus leaf on top of the steamed glutinous rice, and then in the glutinous rice into the chicken pieces of chestnuts and white fruit, add a little pepper MSG and salt to taste. Roll up the leaves. Tied with a strong thread, need to be the main thing, more to the glutinous rice to completely wrapped.

Pot of boiling water, wait until the water boiled into the cage drawer above the steam with a small fire, until the color of the lotus leaves into a very dark, even if it is steamed, you can smell a great aroma. This can be eaten.

But then some vendors improved it by using lotus leaves to wrap the food and abandoned the use of bowls in order to make it easier to go out and sell.

Also in Hubei there is a snack called glutinous rice chicken, but this snack is not a little bit of relationship with the chicken, but because this snack uses glutinous rice to fry out, and tied up after the golden color is like the skin of the chicken, so he named it is glutinous rice chicken.
