If a "sacred chicken" is lost when worshiping ancestors, people will be afraid of being blamed by the gods. Later, this phenomenon evolved into a proverb, "Worship God but not see chicken", to describe people who are devastated when they encounter trouble at a critical moment. It can be seen how much importance Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao attach to "chicken"!
Among the many ways to eat it, plain-cut chicken is the most classic. Pluck the chicken, process it well, soak it in hot water, cut it into pieces, and dip it in green onion and ginger paste... It is a simple method, but it can bring out the best flavor.
Even Goro in "The Lonely Gourmet" was fascinated by plain-cut chicken. In front of a plate of tender chicken, he put down his chopsticks like a child and ate it directly with his hands.
When it comes to the most fascinating part of the plain-cut chicken, it must be the two large, firm, firm, smooth-skinned chicken legs. When eating, pour a little ginger paste and soy sauce on the chicken legs, and then take a big bite.
When the aroma of chicken begins to ripple in your mouth, take a bite of white rice... No words can describe that kind of happiness and satisfaction. In Guangzhou, there is another kind of food that is even better. Traditional dipping sauce - yellow mustard sauce made with yellow mustard and white vinegar. In Lao Guang's opinion, the slightly sour taste can reduce the greasiness of chicken skin. Eating plain-cut chicken in other places will also integrate into the local eating habits and culture. In the seafood cities of Guangxi and Chaoshan, people add sand crab juice and fish sauce to use salty and fresh ingredients to further stimulate the aroma of chicken. However, if you are not a local, you may not be able to get used to the taste. I think only those who have eaten it will understand.
Everyone who eats plain-cut chicken knows that if the plain-cut chicken is made with Qingyuan chicken, the taste will generally not be bad. The first episode of "The Taste of Lao Guang", a documentary known as the "Guangdong Food Guide", follows the life of a Qingyuan chicken.
