At the annual New Year's Eve reunion dinner, the indispensable meat dish is "white-cut chicken". Because the boiled white-cut chicken flies in the air like a bird, its color is golden, and it has a beautiful meaning of "the apprentice". Although boiled chicken is a favorite dish for many people, when many people cook boiled chicken at home, the chicken gets old as soon as it is cooked? What caused this? As far as I know, when many people cook boiled chicken, they just put the chicken in water to cook, which is actually wrong. Step 1: Clean the hair and internal organs of the bought Sanhuang chicken, then soak the white-cut chicken in clean water for 15 minutes, and then rinse it with running water twice for later use. If the hair on the chicken can't be completely removed by hand, you can also burn the chicken feathers with fire. Step 2: Wash and tie the prepared shallots, then wash and cut the ginger slices into thick slices for later use. There is no need to peel ginger skin, because ginger skin is spicy, which can better remove the fishy smell in chicken. Step 3: Prepare a stainless steel pot, put a proper amount of water into the pot, and then put all the salt, ginger slices and gardenia into the pot. After boiling water on a big fire, put the carved wine, shallots and Sanhuang chicken into the pot. After the chicken is boiled for 65,438+05 seconds, lift it up, and then immediately soak it in ice water for 30 seconds to completely cool its surface. Then put the soaked chicken into the pot, simmer for 18 minutes, then take it out and cut into pieces. Finally, dip in "soy sauce and garlic paste" and you can eat it.
