Chicken, this kind of ingredient can be said to play a decisive role in Chinese cuisine or in the cuisine of other countries. It appears frequently, and many people even like to eat chicken to a crazy extent.
There are countless delicious dishes made with chicken all over the world. Not to mention far away, just in China, beggar chicken, tea oil chicken, colorful chicken, pepper chicken, tangerine peel chicken, crispy chicken, saliva chicken , three-cup chicken, etc., there are hundreds of varieties to mention.
Each one has its own unique flavor, and each one has its own appeal.
However, although these chicken delicacies are classic, no one has ever called them the best chicken in the world, because this name is really too big. Once this name comes out, it can be said that all other chicken delicacies will be overshadowed. .
Many people have never thought that there is a kind of delicacy that dares to use this name, because this name is too easy to offend people.
Ye Fei is now talking about making the best chicken dish in the world. Everyone knows that this is definitely the best chicken dish in the world. The fact that a delicacy with chicken as the main ingredient can be called this name means that this delicacy is definitely the best. Excellent.
"The best chicken in the world? Come on, there is a delicious dish that dares to be called such a name?"
"This name is so awesome. What kind of delicacy is this? How dare you call it."
"Kong's cuisine? The best chicken in the world? Isn't this... impossible?"
"The one upstairs, do you know what it is?"
"I know a kind of chicken, but I'm not sure."
At this moment, an audience member suddenly made a surprised expression and said, "I know what it is. Oh my God, Ye Shen, thank you so much. The famous food here will become famous all over the world. Okay." Excited, brothers and sisters, you are welcome to come to our place as a guest, and you will be satisfied with the good food."
This person talked excitedly for a long time, but he didn't say what the good thing was, leaving a group of people confused.
"Brother, what exactly is it? Tell me clearly."
"Chickens, the chickens we have here."
"Khan, can you still talk properly? I also know it's a chicken. What kind of chicken is it from somewhere? Why is it so difficult to talk to you?"
"I... From my state, what chicken do you think is the most famous in our state?"
"... Damn it! From Lushan Province? State Braised Chicken?!!!"
"Yes, because our state's braised chicken does have a very famous name, the best chicken in the world!"
Shangguan Xiaodie hurriedly asked: "Ye Shen, is the best chicken in the world the state braised chicken?"
Ye Fei laughed and said: "Yes, it's Zhou Braised Chicken. Everyone knows that Zhou Braised Chicken is loved by many people because of its outstanding appearance and ultimate taste. Some people even say that if they don't eat it if they go to Lushan Province, If you have a state braised chicken, you have not really been there. Because this kind of chicken is so good, it is called the best chicken in the world by many people. Next, we will use this gray-feathered rooster to make a braised chicken. "
As he spoke, Ye Fei placed the chicken on the operating table. He grabbed the chicken's neck with his left hand, and then used a kitchen knife with his right hand to lightly cut the neck above the right wing, making a deep cut. The chicken's trachea and esophagus were pulled out, and then the chicken was turned over with its belly facing upwards, a cut was made at its tail, and its internal organs were taken out.
The location chosen for these two outlets is very particular, because this delicacy is not only about delicious taste, but also about appearance. It can be said that this is a delicacy with extremely strict requirements in terms of color, flavor and shape.
After making both openings, Ye Fei filled a large porcelain basin with half a basin of water and put the chicken in.
This step is mainly to clean up the blood congestion inside the chicken, because chicken blood itself has a unique taste. If it is not cleaned thoroughly, the taste and taste of the chicken will be seriously affected after the final delicacy is made.
After the chicken was put in, excess blood slowly began to flow out from several wounds on the chicken's body. After half the water in the basin turned red, the water was replaced and the chicken was put in again.
This time there was obviously a lot less blood, but Ye Fei's requirements were very strict, and even a little bit was not enough.
He changed the water again. After the third time, no blood came out of the chicken. Ye Fei took the chicken out of the water, then drained the water, and finally used a dry cloth to absorb the water again. This was put on the chopping board.
I saw him grabbing the two wings of the chicken with both hands, then bringing the wing tips together, passing through the opening on the chicken's neck, and the wing tips came out from the chicken's mouth.
Then he put the chicken's feet together and stuffed them through the opening at the back of the chicken's belly. In this way, the whole chicken seemed to turn into a duck swimming in the water.
After doing this, Ye Fei first placed the chicken on a plate, and then took other ingredients from the storage compartment.
Ginger, star anise, pepper, cinnamon, tangerine peel, cloves, etc., it can be said that there are twenty or thirty kinds of materials and seasonings.
Get all these ready, and then it’s time to paint.
The so-called coloring is to apply a layer of sugar color on the chicken. To apply sugar color, you must first make sugar color, and the material for making sugar color is white sugar.
Put the wok on the fire, put the sugar in it, add an appropriate amount of water, and start to boil. After a while, wait until the liquid in the pot turns maroon, then add an appropriate amount of water to it again, and then continue to boil over medium heat until the liquid in the pan turns maroon red. When the liquid in the pot becomes viscous, turn off the heat and let the sugar color slowly cool down, but it cannot become too cold, because the liquid itself is viscous. If it is too cold, Finally, it became one piece again. Let alone coloring, it was difficult to take it out of the pot.
When the temperature of the sugar color reached about 40 degrees, Ye Fei took it out of the pot and evenly applied it on the chicken until its whole body was covered with a layer of light maroon juice.
Then I changed another pot. After cleaning it, I put it on the stove and burned it. The water in the pot evaporated, and I added peanut oil. When it was 70 to 80% hot, I put the sugar-coated chicken in it.
There was a loud bang, and countless bubbles of oil suddenly rushed out around the chicken. The fried chicken started to turn whiter, but after a while, it suddenly turned brown-red, and then slowly turned whiter. It became golden brown.
After frying for only about three minutes, Ye Fei took it out with a large slotted spoon, drained the oil, and placed it on a plate.
Looking at the chicken at this time, the whole chicken has become shiny, especially after it is coated with sugar color. The whole chicken exudes a rich sweet flavor.
After just completing this step, many people will be tempted to the point where they can no longer stand it.
"The best chicken in the world, the best chicken in the world, it really deserves the name of the best chicken in the world. I haven't even done this yet, but I can't stand it anymore."
"Zhou Braised Chicken, right? Zhou, I have to go there this year. If I don't go traveling, I just want to eat chicken."
"That's right, let's go eat Zhou's chicken. Although I know it's not as good as Ye Shen's, it's okay to eat one to satisfy my craving."
"Ye Shen, thank you very much. Thank you for doing such a good job of promoting our state's tourism industry."
"Ye Shen, come to Zhouzhou when you have time, and I'll serve you a lot of Zhouzhou braised chicken."
Don't mention it, the state actually experienced a tourism peak for a while because Ye Fei cooked this chicken dish, which directly confused many leaders of the state. Logically speaking, this season is not the peak tourist season, why did it suddenly pop up? so many people
What made them even more unexpected was that most of these people packed up a lot of roast chickens and took away a lot of roast chickens when they left, and also visited the scenic spot by the way.
There are now more than 600 million people in the live broadcast room. The free advertisement Ye Fei Bangzhou has done can be said to be extremely effective.
Putting the slightly fried chicken on the plate, Ye Fei removed the wok, then took a cooking pot, put it on the stove, put the chicken directly in, then added the soup and ginger, and used Seasoning packets formed from other seasonings, etc. Then Ye Fei took another grate and pressed it directly on the chicken. This was not the end. After putting the grate in place, everyone saw Ye Fei bend down and take out a piece. big Stone.
Seeing this scene, everyone almost hit their heads on the table.
"I'll wipe it, what does Ye Shen want to do?"
"fall through?"
"I'm going to smash your sister. The chicken isn't even ready yet and you want to smash the pot?"
"Then what do you think Ye Shen is doing? I've never seen anyone use stones to make delicious food."
"Haha, are you an amateur upstairs? Of course you use big stones to press on the grate. This thing is to prevent the chicken from moving back and forth as the soup boils during cooking. That will not taste good. Do you know Leh?"
There were viewers from Zhouzhou in the live broadcast room. They knew how to make this delicacy. Of course, they also knew what the function of Ye Fei's stone was, so they came out to explain it.
Sure enough, Ye Fei washed the big stone under the faucet many times to make sure that there was no dirt on it, then he placed it on the grate inside the pot, covered the pot, and turned on the fire.
After the soup in the pot comes to a boil, turn to low heat and simmer.
Yes, this delicacy still needs to be simmered over low heat until the flavor becomes crispy.
Even though Ye Fei's tools were black technologies provided by the system, Ye Fei still simmered for an hour before opening the lid.
As the lid of the pot was taken off, a cloud of white smoke rushed out from the pot. In the middle of the white mist, a rich and tangy aroma burst out!
Ye Fei was shaken by the smoke and hurriedly stabilized himself. He took out the big stone from the pot and removed the grate. Then he looked inside the pot and saw that the big rooster that was shiny just now was already cooked. It has lost its luster, but there is still countless soup scattered on the body, just like... a drowned rat.
That's right, this chicken has almost been soaked with soup. Whether it's inside the meat or outside the skin, the rich soup hangs like milky white diamond particles.
Ye Fei couldn't help but licked his tongue, and then rubbed his hands. Just as he was about to take it out, he suddenly saw a dark maroon light ball rushing out from the chicken's body.
Ye Fei was startled, holy shit, this... this system is too fucked up, right? They always say that my reflex arc is long, and yours is not short either. It took me a long time to master the skill.
As the light group rose, a huge rooster stood in the light group with its head held high and its head looking around, as if looking down at the world.
Bo~~
The light bursts into pieces, and the fragrance floats thousands of miles away.
The taste of this chicken is definitely the most special, because there are so many spices and seasonings added to it, dozens of them. The flavors of these things are mixed together, and finally permeated with the aroma of the chicken. It instantly makes it a unique scent.
This aroma is strong, but not cloying, pure, yet not overpowering, and just right for your nose.
Shiren couldn't help but shook his head and said: "It's fragrant but not vulgar, elegant but not too flimsy. It's really great."
Rhodes couldn't help but said: "I didn't expect a chicken to be able to reach such a state. Ye Shen is indeed Ye Shen."
As a god of cooking, Kumar certainly has his own unique insights into food. He ran over and took a look into the pot. With just this glance, Kumar could no longer take his eyes away from the chicken. .
Because the chicken in the pot is really beautiful at this time, golden in color, but with a hint of ruddy color in the golden color, it looks like it makes people want to take it out and gnaw it for a while.
"Beautiful, really beautiful," Kumar said.
Ye Fei smiled and said: "After you fish it out, I think you will be more able to say it is beautiful."
"Ye Shen, will there be any changes after you fish it out?"
"I think so. Please give me some space."
As he spoke, Ye Fei took a small hook from the tool rack, and then took a large colander. Ye Fei hooked the chicken's neck with the small hook, and gently shook the pot with his other hand. The soup in the pot began to sway, and the chicken slowly floated with the soup.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Ye Fei gently lifted his hand up, and saw that the chicken began to escape from the soup. Ye Fei did not dare to neglect, and the large colander in his other hand was stretched under the chicken, holding it. It was brought out.
After the Zhou Braised Chicken is cooked, you must be very particular when taking it out, because it has been cooked in the pot until it is fragrant, soft and crispy. If you take it out the wrong way, it can be said that the whole thing cannot be taken out at all. It fell apart as soon as I mentioned it.
Therefore, to ensure the integrity of the chicken, you must be careful and careful.
After taking the chicken out, place it on a plate.
Everyone's eyes fell on this chicken.
Then they quietly discovered that the chicken had really changed.
As time went on, the temperature of the chicken began to drop. As the temperature of the chicken dropped, everyone saw that a faint sheen began to appear on the outside of the chicken. The lower the temperature, the more obvious the sheen. Until the end, the whole chicken became golden and shiny again...
