In the spring of p>1984, young and ignorant rural children boarded the slow and flickering green leather train and went from Weifang to the Northeast for a living. I don't know anything, I don't know anything, and it's my first time to see a train.

I've also heard the name Dezhou. Only when the train stopped at midnight did I know that there was a Texan braised chicken. The platform was empty, and there was only the shouts of selling braised chicken. It looks delicious, smells delicious, and there is no money in the pocket to hold the fragrance, so it is unforgettable so far and I have never given up buying it.

after several decades, braised chicken in Texas has spread all over the country, and there are everything in supermarkets and small shops. Unfortunately, we can't find the fragrance that lingers for a lifetime!

I don't remember it clearly after a long time. It seems that the taste is not much different from that of Daokou roast chicken and Fuliji roast chicken.

I took a train from Wuhan to Tianjin in 2. When the train just stopped at Dezhou Station in Shandong Province, there were people selling braised chicken in Dezhou outside the window. Out of curiosity, I bought one and ate it. It was really delicious, and it was a famous local specialty.

the taste is too salty.

I am from Texas, and braised chicken is a local specialty. When it comes to braised chicken, it should be said that it tastes good on the whole. But I prefer the old taste. Why do you say that? Let me give you an analysis

First, braised chicken is too commercialized now! The taste has changed so much that many people are processing it, and the way of making it has changed, which invisibly has a great impact on the popularity of braised chicken, and the taste will be ever-changing. Therefore, after commercialization, the taste has changed greatly, specifically, it is not as delicious as before.

secondly, the process of braised chicken is relatively simple! Therefore, the taste of the product is relatively poor. Now it is mainly based on profit. If you don't make money, you will definitely not make this product. You must calculate the cost, profit and everything. So what do you say? Invisible, we can see that the processing flow must have changed a lot, including the simplification of materials, and there is no old secret recipe and old practice!

third, people who join in smash brands! It's a mixed bag of fish and dragons. Originally, it was a very good brand, and it was gradually discredited by these franchisees. Therefore, the brand's things are most afraid of being done by unskilled people. If it is done too much, it will ruin an industry. I feel like this!

when it comes to the smell of braised chicken, it should be said that when I was relatively young, braised chicken was fragrant, waxy, sticky and soft, and melted in my mouth. They are all pressed by some pressure cookers. I remember that the bones are crisp, the food is particularly comfortable and the taste is particularly pure. I used to like this taste very much, but now I rarely eat braised chicken, because I bought braised chicken in some local supermarkets, and the taste is super bad.

If we want to change this situation, we must start with the purchase of raw materials, processing flow, materials and Chinese herbal medicines. We must strictly implement the same standards, so that the braised chicken industry will gradually embark on a formal channel, otherwise, there will not be too many people trying to braised chicken, and this industry will gradually degenerate.

Texan braised chicken is also called Texan spiced boneless braised chicken. First of all, let's make it clear what Texan braised chicken is.

Texas, just Texas, you might think of Texas in the United States? Texas Hold 'em? Or texas chainsaw massacre, Texas? No, not at all. As long as it comes to braised chicken, there is only one in Dezhou-Dezhou, Shandong. The popularity of braised chicken in Texas is attributed to the special geographical location of Texas. It can even be said that traffic is the biggest bole for braised chicken in Texas. In the early Qing Dynasty, the grain transportation was extremely busy, and the roast chicken began to accumulate popularity through the grain transportation. Dezhou is an important transportation hub in the Central Plains with a large population flow, so many old people selling roast chicken appeared along the canal, which is the embryonic form of Dezhou braised chicken. Later, in the 2th century, the entire line of the Jin-Pu Railway and the Shide Railway was opened to traffic, and Dezhou was still the intersection of railway hubs. Naturally, it became an important railway hub in North China at that time, and the upgraded version of roast chicken began to appear around the railway station square. But there are many fakes among them, and our Tang Lusun was cheated:

Besides spiced chicken, our editorial department once wrote an article about braised chicken in Texas. During the interview, we actually found that spiced chicken in Texas was by no means "spiced chicken", but represented five local stores in Texas. Later, the recipes of the five stores were mixed with each other, and we had the braised chicken in Texas now.

Let's talk about "grilling". Grilling is a common cooking technique in Shandong cuisine. Cook with strong fire and stew with low fire. The martial arts should be orderly, and the martial arts should be followed by the prose.

Nowadays, there are physical stores of braised chicken in Texas all over the country. If you can't go to the time-honored store in Texas, you still have a chance to eat fresh braised chicken.

For example, the Beijing branch of Dezhou Braised Chicken Group, which specializes in high-speed rail, has 5 fresh braised chickens straight from Texas.

fresh braised chicken is different from that sold in the deli section of the supermarket, which surprises everyone and is not salty at all! Empty stuttering is just right, not firewood but not too soft and rotten, and you can taste the texture of chicken, with spices and faint scent of Chinese herbal medicines.

Chicken gizzard is as delicious as fresh braised chicken. Although it is not crisp, it tastes very elastic, one bite at a time. In addition, chicken gizzard is mixed with small mushrooms, which is very well received.

Compared with vacuum braised chicken, boxed braised chicken is more delicious, with fresh meat, but salty.

The chicken liver of Dezhou paji tastes soft and waxy, which absorbs the taste of the old soup.

the chicken heart is not delicious enough. It tastes rough and the stew is too soft, but fortunately, it is well seasoned and a little spicy.

I took a green leather train and passed by Dezhou Station many years ago. During the parking time, the platform was full of Texan braised chicken sellers. When the passengers got off the bus one after another, they bought one. The train started, and in the carriages, people got together in twos and threes to drink wine and eat braised chicken, which became a scenery on the train. It was then that I learned that there is a delicious chicken called Dezhou paji.

Dezhou paji actually became famous very early. There is a legend about the origin of braised chicken in Texas: during the Kangxi period, Jia Jiancai's roast chicken shop in the west of Texas was famous. One day, the shopkeeper Jia was in a hurry to go out, so he told Xiao Er to suppress the fire. But the little fellow soon fell asleep in front of the cooker, and when he woke up, a pot of chicken had been cooked. In desperation, Jia shopkeeper fished out the chicken and took it to the store for sale. Unexpectedly, it was tempting. Afterwards, the original practice of braised chicken appeared, that is, cooking with big fire and stewing with small fire, and braised chicken became famous from then on.

The flourishing period of braised chicken in Dezhou was after the opening of the whole line of the Jinpu Railway and Shide Railway. At this time, braised chicken was spiced and boneless, with good color, fragrance, taste and shape. Anyone who passes through Texas by car must get off and buy one or a bag of braised chicken to take home and share with the whole family, or give it to relatives and friends.

After the founding of New China, "Dezhou Brand" braised chicken has become a well-known brand in braised chicken industry, and it has become a unique Chinese cuisine from a local famous product, and is known as "the first chicken in China".

Dezhou braised chicken has a peculiar shape, with legs rolled up, paws in the chicken chamber, wings crossed from the mouth through the neck, and feathers in the mouth. The whole chicken is lying, with excellent shape and color, five spices and bones, tender and pure meat, light and elegant taste, penetrating the bone marrow and fresh and nourishing.

Dezhou paji is a representative food in Dezhou, Shandong province, which is famous all over the country. I remember that when I entered Shandong by train, the flight attendants would vigorously promote Dezhou braised chicken to passengers. So much so that in many memories of trains, in addition to the taste of instant noodles and ham sausage, it is Texas braised chicken.

The history of braised chicken in Dezhou can be traced back to the Kangxi period of Qing Dynasty. It is said that the shopkeeper of a roast chicken shop overcooked the roast chicken because of a mistake, but it tasted good, which attracted many people to buy it. Afterwards, the shopkeeper found that the braised chicken needs to be cooked before the martial arts, and the civil and military affairs are orderly. It is more authentic to cook with a big fire and simmer with a small fire.

Later, Deshunzhai, a time-honored brand in Texas, further enriched the seasoning of braised chicken. The tender chicken with good quality is first fried and then refined with seasonings such as soy sauce, clove, tsaoko and fennel. The prepared Dezhou braised chicken is ruddy in color, fresh and tender in meat, and fragrant in smell, which is very popular among diners.

I've eaten braised chicken in Texas many times, and I think braised chicken fresh out of the pot is the most delicious. It is rich in spices and very attractive. After cooking, the skin cracks, and white and tender chicken is exposed, which makes it very appetizing.

Compared with braised chicken just cooked, braised chicken packed in vacuum is inferior in taste. Although the soup is thick, it is solidified together, just a dry smell. Braised chicken's chicken is also relatively firewood, and the chicken skin is even less elastic. Therefore, if you go to Texas, it is recommended to eat the braised chicken that is cooked now and the braised chicken that is heated in vacuum, and you will not be disappointed.

have you ever eaten braised chicken in Texas? What do you think of the taste of braised chicken?

I'm from Dezhou. Every time I go back to my hometown, I buy a few Texan braised chicken. Texan braised chicken only comes with "Texan" brand, and it comes in all kinds of packages. It's best to buy fresh braised chicken, that is, it's unpacked, just out of the pot, and it tastes authentic. Now it's also sold in high-speed railway station and high-speed rail. It's all Texan braised chicken. You can buy it at ease and sell it online. It's all good, as long as it's Texan brand.

Dezhou paji, I like it very much.

In recent years, the most popular convenient meat products, such as spicy duck neck and spicy duck head, are popular all over the country.

This phenomenon shows that the population in China tends to have a heavier taste, which is actually an abnormal phenomenon. Although it has a strong appetite stimulating effect, it is harmful to the health if you eat this kind of meat frequently.

braised chicken in Dezhou has a history of hundreds of years, but I personally think it is a clean stream in meat, tender and fragrant, not salty or spicy, especially suitable for children and the elderly.

There is another kind of food in Shandong, which I think represents the future food direction, that is, Shandong pancake, especially Jinan's "cicada wing cake", which is made of Longshan millet and eggs. It tastes like an egg roll, but it is strong but not tough, and there will be no tired cheeks if you eat too much.

Nowadays, people pay attention to eating whole grains. Millet "cicada wing cake" happens to be made of whole grains, and it is a pure natural food without any additives.

cicada's wing cake and Dezhou paji, which are relatively expensive, are both hand-picked gifts that everyone can eat and taste good.

Some people use cicada's wing cakes to roll up Texas braised chicken eggs. It is said that it tastes good, and it is wrong to eat it with one vegetable and one meat.

When buying braised chicken in Texas, you should pay attention to the fact that vacuum-packed braised chicken is delicious without lock. Because after vacuum sterilization, the taste becomes worse. Pay special attention to this point, otherwise, you will feel nothing more when you buy it.
