In the eyes of China people, there is nothing better for friends to get together than to sit together and have a nice meal. No matter in the south or the north, there is a dish on the dining table that is essential, and that is chicken. There are many ways to cook chicken, whether it's steaming, frying, barbecue, braising or stir-frying, which can make chicken delicious and attractive. In China, there are legendary "four famous chickens". If you don't eat all of them, you are embarrassed to say that you are a foodie.

1 beggar chicken

Beggar chicken is a famous dish. There are many versions about the origin of beggar chicken, but all versions mention that the practice of beggar chicken was invented by a beggar. Legend has it that when a beggar was begging, he met a good-hearted man and gave a chicken. Because the beggar had no pot, he could not cook on fire. In desperation, I had to kill the chicken and wash the internal organs quickly. I picked a leaf in the pond and wrapped the chicken with a layer of yellow mud. Then I made a fire and put it in to start baking. After the mud on the outer layer was dried, I took it out and knocked it open. The hair on the chicken automatically fell off, and the chicken itself smelled of people. Since then, after continuous improvement and adding various seasonings, today's beggar chicken has finally come into being. Friends who have read the legend of the condor heroes written by the old man Jin Yong should be familiar with the dish of beggar chicken, which is Hong Qigong's favorite food, which shows that the old man Jin Yong admires this dish.

2, saliva chicken

Speaking of chicken, I have to mention this saliva chicken. As a Sichuan dish, saliva chicken has only two characteristics, one is spicy and the other is hemp. This dish of chicken with saliva can be regarded as a wonderful work in chicken, because it is a cold dish, and all the dishes with chicken as ingredients are basically hot dishes. Only a wonderful chicken with saliva has been made into a delicious dish, and you can't help drooling when you see this dish, so this dish is called chicken with saliva. Little friends who don't like spicy food should choose carefully, because the saliva chicken is an authentic Sichuan dish. If you look at the red Chili oil, you will know that this saliva chicken is absolutely delicious.

3. Boiled chicken

Many people have survived this dish but haven't eaten it. As a Cantonese dish, the practice of boiled chicken can be said to be extremely simple. Just clean the chicken, cut it into pieces, steam it in a pot and serve it. With the secret sauce, the chicken is tender and juicy in your mouth, and the original chicken has a different flavor in your mouth.

4. Three cups of chicken

If beggar chicken is rumored to be invented by beggars, then this three-cup chicken can be said to be well-founded. This dish is a traditional dish in Jiangxi, which is said to have been invented by Wen Tianxiang, a national hero, with a strong historical flavor. In the eyes of Jiangxi laobiao, this three-cup chicken can be said to be the masterpiece of Jiangxi cuisine. This dish is not only red in color and sauce, but also gives full play to the meat quality of the chicken itself.

As the saying goes, chicken, duck, fish and chicken chops are the first, and chicken is an indispensable ingredient in meat dishes. There are various ways to make chicken. As China people like to call it, there are four beauties for beautiful women, and Four Great Classical Novels for books. Chicken should also have four famous chickens: beggar chicken, saliva chicken, boiled chicken and three cups of chicken. As a senior foodie, these four famous chickens have not all eaten, and they dare not pretend to be foodies when they go out.
