Jiaohua chicken is a special kind of roast chicken. It is wrapped in mud and lotus leaves, and the beggar chicken inside is tender and hot. As soon as the lotus leaf opened, a thick smell of chicken came to my face, which made my mouth water.
Not to mention the smell of beggar chicken. Pick up a piece of chicken, put it in your mouth, and swallow it before your tongue gets a firm foothold. The beggar chicken tastes tender and slag-free, and even the bones are brittle. The little beggar chicken has a unique shape, like a lazy frog resting, its feet facing the sky and its color is brown.
I smelled a wonderful fragrance just before I served it. Look at the oily chicken and the dishes in its belly, as well as the bright white plate, which not only makes people shine at the moment. The smell and color are very attractive. Tear off a piece of meat and put it in your mouth. Chicken is crisp and tender, which makes people reluctant to swallow. After entering the stomach, it has an endless aftertaste, with the fragrance of lotus leaves! After eating the beggar chicken, I remembered Liu's words: "I would rather eat beggar chicken than Songjiang fish." It can be seen how wonderful the taste of beggar chicken is.
The beggar chicken has an attractive aroma, but its taste is not delicious. Baking is a way of fire cooking, and the release ratio of umami substances in food is much lower than that of cooking (steaming, boiling and stewing). Therefore, the beggar chicken is delicious, and the fragrance makes up for the lack of taste.
Jiaohua chicken, a famous dish in Jiangnan, has a long history. It is a special dish made by wrapping the processed chicken with soil and lotus leaves and baking it. Its color is bright Bordeaux, fragrant, crisp and tender. It is a good gift for family dinner and picnic.
The beggar chicken is taken out of the bag with mud and covered with lotus leaves. Take out the lotus leaf without cutting it with a knife and tear it by hand. When our beggar chicken was not served, it smelled delicious and tasted drier.
Deep-fried and roasted tastes crisp, rotten, fat and tender, and has a unique flavor. Legend has it that a long time ago, there was a beggar who begged along the way and came to a village in Changshu County. One day, he happened to get a chicken and wanted to kill it for cooking, but there was neither cooker nor seasoning. He came to the foot of Yushan Mountain, killed the chicken, took out its internal organs, coated it with yellow mud and firewood, simmered the coated chicken in the fire, peeled off the mud shell when it was cooked, and removed the chicken feathers and mud shell together to reveal the chicken. About 100 years ago, according to this legend, the "Mountain View Garden" restaurant in Yushan Resort in the northwest of Changshu County, refined the chicken by removing the rough and selecting the fine.
The beggar chicken has a unique shape, like a lazy frog resting, its feet facing the sky and its color is brown. Ordinary chickens are still so weak when cooked, while beggar chickens are still so terrible when cooked.
The meat is hard, not greasy and slightly fragrant with lotus leaves.
