When wrapping and binding the chicken with jar mud, spread the mud evenly on a wet cloth with a thickness of about 1.7 cm, put the chicken in the middle of the mud, pick up the sealed bag at the corner of the wet cloth to make the mud stick firmly, and then take out the wet cloth and wrap it with wrapping paper. Some people use ovens, while others use charcoal fires. If the chicken is simmered with charcoal fire, it is usually put on a shelf and simmered near the charcoal fire. It takes about 4 hours to simmer chicken every half hour. (The two roasting methods taste different.)
Practice 2: Main ingredients: 1 hen (1000g), preferably three yellow (yellow mouth, yellow feet and yellow hair) hens with big heads and small bodies. This kind of chicken is more delicious.
Accessories: 50g diced chicken,100g lean meat, 50g shrimp, 30g cooked ham, 400g lard, 20g mushrooms, 4 fresh lotus leaves and 3000g jar mud. Seasoning: 50g of Shaoxing wine, 5g of salt, 20g of oil100g, 20g of sugar, 20g of onion, 4g of Jiang Mo10g, 4 cloves of clove, 2 grains of star anise, 0.5g of jade fruit powder, 50g of onion, 50g of sweet sauce, 50g of sesame oil and 50g of cooked lard.
1. Remove hair and internal organs and wash chicken. Add soy sauce, yellow wine and salt, marinate for 1 hour, grind clove and star anise into fine powder, add jade fruit powder, and rub it on chicken. 2. Put the pot on a big fire, add lard and heat it to 50%, add onion and ginger, then put diced chicken, lean meat, shrimp, cooked ham and diced mushroom into the auxiliary materials in the pot, take it out of the pot and cool it for later use; 3. Put a clove under the armpit of the chicken, tightly wrap the chicken's body with pig net oil, wrap a layer with lotus leaf, wrap a layer with cellophane, wrap a layer with lotus leaf outside, and then tie it tightly with fine hemp rope;
4. Grind the jar mud into powder, mix it with clear water, spread it evenly on a wet cloth (about 1.5 cm thick), put the tied chicken in the middle of the mud, lift the four corners of the wet cloth, and wrap the chicken tightly, so that the mud can stick together tightly, take out the wet cloth and wrap it with wrapping paper;
5. Put the wrapped chicken in the oven and bake it for 40 minutes with high fire. If the mud cracks, plug the cracks with mud, bake for 30 minutes with high fire, then bake for 90 minutes with low fire, and finally bake for 90 minutes with low fire. 6. Take out the roast chicken, knock off the mud on the chicken surface, take off the rope, take off the lotus leaf, cellophane and sprinkle with sesame oil.
