Roast chicken is an ancient dish, ranging from traditional costume TV series with inconsistent words to frankincense roast chicken and garlic roast chicken today. We in China like chicken best. Roast chicken has different practices in different parts of the country. In Guangdong, the most classic is crispy roast chicken. Guangdong's crispy roast chicken has a strong flavor, crispy skin, fresh and tender chicken and bright red color, which gives people delicious enjoyment from outside to inside. Although the practice of hanging roast chicken has existed for a long time, it is not difficult. Let's discuss it with Jia Zheng's old butcher.
First, material selection.
Tender chicken is the main choice for hanging roast chicken. It is recommended to choose native chicken and Sanhuang chicken, weighing about 2-3 kg. Old chicken is generally more firewood than tender chicken, which seriously affects the taste and is more suitable for stewing. Tender chicken chicken is fresh and tender, thin and tough, suitable for hanging roast chicken.
Second, curing.
After cleaning, the whole chicken needs to be coated with marinade from the inside out and refrigerated for more than 8 hours. We Jia Zheng used the special gravy for roast chicken, which can keep the original flavor and taste of chicken and make it more fragrant.
Three, flying water, epithelial water
The flying water for hanging roast chicken is different from other materials. It is necessary to pour boiling water on the chicken skin to make the chicken skin shrink and tighten, and increase the crispness after firing. Epithelial water is needed after flying. Another function of boiling water is to clean the excess oil in the pores of chicken skin, so that the skin water can be better attached to it and better colored.
Fourth, fire.
After the chicken with good skin and water is air-dried, it needs to be put into the furnace for baking. After baking, we need to keep the temperature constant and control the baking time according to the size of the chicken. General tender chicken, about 20 minutes is better.
