In fact, the most authentic beggar chicken is not like that in the video. There are two kinds of giving chickens, one is the whole chicken, and the other is that all kinds of vegetables and ingredients are heated with hot water and put into seasoning soup.
The most authentic alms chicken is a special food with technical content. First, clean a fresh rooster, remove its internal organs, put it in cold water, and add onion, ginger and cooking wine to the cold water to remove the fishy smell. After the fire boils, blanch it first to remove the blood foam from the chicken, so as to avoid behavioral problems in post-production.
Then take out the chicken, rinse off the floating foam, take a casserole, put the broth made of big bone strips into the casserole, put the chicken into the soup, and optionally add some red dates, scallions and ginger slices.
After the fire boiled, it turned into a medium-small fire, and then it was stuffy for more than an hour. I remember a food blogger said that the chicken must be stewed for more than an hour, otherwise the meat would not taste good. Then take out the chicken, cut it into pieces, put it in a clean basin, and add seasonings, such as peanut butter, sesame sauce, Chili oil, coriander, chopped green onion, salt, chicken essence, soy sauce, oyster sauce and so on. Then pour in the cooked chicken soup and stir evenly for three or four minutes before eating.
The chicken made in this way is spicy and delicious, which makes people drool. But this is really troublesome for us, and the production method is not very standard. Therefore, in order to solve the problem of these lazy people, some merchants have also invented the seasoning for giving away chickens. Just pour the seasoning into the basin and add a proper proportion of water to adjust it, and it can be made.
