Kiln chicken is a traditional delicacy. Its deliciousness is deeply loved by people, and its preparation is also very interesting and fun. The authentic way to make kiln chicken is as follows:
First of all, making kiln chicken requires a kiln. This kiln is not a brick kiln, but a kiln made of yellow mud. We need to prepare enough yellow mud, then mix it with the mud, and smash it into a cave house little by little. The cave house should be hollow and open on the side. The size of the cave house must be half a meter high, because a whole chicken needs to be put down, and a whole chicken must be added inside. Firewood, so the cave dwelling cannot be too small, and the mouth is used to add firewood.
Then you need to prepare the chicken. The chicken must be a whole chicken. Some places sell chickens with the head and butt cut off, but when making kiln chicken, the head and butt are not removed. The purchased whole chicken should be marinated with salt, cooking wine, spices and other seasonings for about two hours, so that the delicious taste of the ingredients can fully penetrate into the chicken.
After the raw materials are prepared, add firewood to dry and heat the cave. It will take about four to five hours. Then wrap the chicken in lotus leaves, throw it into the cave, and mash it. , cover the chicken and simmer for half an hour and it's done.
