Kiln chicken is popular in Guangxi, Shenzhen, Huizhou, Heyuan, Meizhou, Ganzhou and other places. Similar to brine chicken, it is one of the famous "farm dishes". The practice of kiln chicken is to slaughter the chicken clean, then hollow out the abdominal cavity, stuff it with garlic, mushrooms and other condiments, wrap the chicken with refined salt inside and outside, and then wrap it tightly with tin foil.
Building kilns is usually yellow mud blocks or tiles. When the tiles on the kiln burned white, they put out the firewood. Put the wrapped chicken into the kiln and collapse it. Cover the kiln with a thick layer of soil or sand to prevent hot air from emitting. Sometimes, in order to ensure that chickens don't stick to sand, you can pour an iron pot on the kiln and cover it with sand. You can open the kiln to get the chicken in an hour or so.
Just open a corner of the tin foil bag a little, and the smell of chicken will come to the nose. If you open the whole tin foil, a golden pheasant will appear in front of you.
