As a traditional dish in China, Imperial Chicken is the protagonist at the royal banquet. Royal chicken is tender in quality and mellow in juice, which is one of the essential delicacies for Chinese New Year holidays. So, how can the imperial chicken be done well?
First of all, material selection is very important. You must choose chicken with tender meat and tendons in it, and wash it with salt water. Then, the ingredients should be sufficient, and seasonings such as white wine, cinnamon, anise and star anise can be added to improve the taste. Fill the belly of the native chicken with onion, ginger and other ingredients, then put it in a pot to cook until it is cooked thoroughly, and simmer for 8- 10 hour until the soup is thick.
Second, we should pay attention to cutting and matching. Stewed chicken is cut into uniform sizes, spread on a plate, served with refreshing side dishes such as red dates, medlar and tremella, which is both beautiful and nutritious.
Finally, the seasoning should be just right. The chicken soup in the Forbidden City is rich in flavor, so it can be dipped in soy sauce prepared with ginger juice and sesame oil, and the taste is doubled.
In short, only when the materials are well selected, cut properly, matched properly, and the seasonings are just right, can the delicious and delicious imperial chicken be made.
