1, a whole chicken (about 2.3 kg fresh chicken)

2. Yu Hao Crystal Chicken Special Ingredients 18g (available in vegetable market, supermarket and online)

3. 20g of pure peanut oil (or special mixed juice for Yu Hao Crystal Chicken).

First of all, start with picking chickens:

Choose a fresh chicken weighing about 2.3 Jin to see if the comb is convex, regular and serrated, and the color is natural and bright red. At the same time, look at whether the chicken's eyes are bright and whether the chicken's pores are complicated. Cantonese food is vegetarian, shiny and hairless. See if the chicken feet are short and thin, the tibia is small and vegetarian, and whether it can walk on the ground. Touch the firmness and toughness of chicken breast and chicken feet to judge whether the feeding time is long enough. The top grade is about 150 days. Such as: Zhanjiang chicken, Qingyuan chicken, Wenchang chicken, Yu Hao chicken, Sanhuang chicken, fine-footed chicken, etc.

For chicken washing:

Clean up the chicken oil, viscera and chicken blood in the chicken cavity, and then drip dry the water.

Specific operation process:

Special ingredients for Yu Hao Crystal Chicken 1 package (18g only). First, use Yu Hao Crystal Chicken special sauce or pure peanut oil to wipe the chicken belly and chicken body, then put half of the ingredients into Cantonese chicken belly formula and rub evenly. Spread the other half of the ingredients evenly on the chicken and marinate for 5 minutes. After the water boils, add the chicken and steam 15- 18 minutes. Don't overdo it. Better just cook and eat. Cut the chicken into pieces! Half of the steamed juice is put in a small bowl as seasoning, and the other half is poured on the chicken.

Precautions:

1. When Yu Hao Crystal Chicken is coated with special ingredients and peanut oil, the chicken should be operated in a steaming pan, and the ingredients and peanut oil should not be omitted, otherwise it will be tasteless;

Second, the time to steam the chicken depends on the size and heat of the chicken, which is about 15 to 18 minutes. The time is too long, the chicken is not tender and slippery, and the time is too short and not ripe. (There are two good ways to tell whether it is ripe or not: 1. If you poke the chicken easily with chopsticks, it is basically cooked; 2, cut off the bright red in the chicken leg bones as immature, black as overripe, and deep red as the best maturity. )

Third, the ingredients of crystal chicken are very important. My own ingredients are not so authentic. The special ingredients of Yu Hao Crystal Chicken can generally be bought in the wholesale market or online.
