Speaking of Guangzhou’s famous dishes, the first thing that comes to mind is definitely plain-cut chicken, but in fact, after so many years of hard work by so many chefs, the seemingly simple plain-cut chicken has evolved into many different breeds, such as Qingping chicken, and the Shishi chicken that I want to recommend to you today.

The reason why it is called Shishiji is that during the Republic of China, a boy fell in love with a girl from a normal university, but his family was poor and had no money for him to continue studying. In order to see the girl every day, he He set up a chicken stall on Shishi Road of Normal University. Because the chicken he made had a unique flavor and was deeply loved by people, everyone called it Shishi Chicken.

In fact, the cooking method of Shishi Chicken is the same as that of plain chicken, but it has two more important ingredients - tofu oil and clams. When serving the dishes, the waiters will usually pour the bean curd oil evenly on the chicken with ink on the spot. This technique is called Guan Gong's inspection of the city. Then when eating, put a piece of Shishi chicken and add clam sauce or chopped green onions. This is called Han Xin Bing Bing. Haha, do you feel so cultured?

Similar to Qingping Chicken, due to the retirement of old master chefs, there are now very few Shishi Chicken restaurants in Guangzhou, and those who dare to call themselves Qingping Chicken or Shishi Chicken generally cook very well. It's delicious, otherwise I wouldn't dare to show my shame. That's why chefs dare to use clams, a very rich sauce, without fear of taking away the flavor of the protagonist's plain-cut chicken.

After Guan Gong patrolled the city and Han Xin ordered a piece of chicken, the moment it entered the mouth, the sourness of the clams and the sweetness of the bean drum juice poured into the mouth, which was overbearing and harmonious; but Continue to chew carefully, and the chicken flavor will come out, melting into a sweet and fresh flavor. Coupled with the crispiness of the chicken skin and the tenderness of the chicken, such a rich taste is definitely worthy of the famous dish. How about eating half a chicken for two people? It’s so simple, just one is fine!
