Spicy chicken?

Xu Zhuo was a little hesitant, not that he didn't like spicy chicken, but that on the day he made cat ears, he used his skills to learn hard.

This skill is still on cooldown and cannot be used.

At this time, it is a bit difficult to learn spicy chicken.

But don't learn it, Wei Junming has already put it forward, and he can't find a suitable reason to refuse.

If other people say that they can't eat spicy, they can refuse.

But Xu Zhuo, as a chef, is too ridiculous to use this reason.

So he thought about it for a while, and then said with a little hesitation: "Two days ago, my grandfather also said that he would teach me how to make spicy chicken, and said that Lu cuisine, your spicy chicken is better than Sichuan cuisine......

"Lu Cai's spicy chicken?"

Wei Junming was a little confused, he thought for a while before he reacted: "What your grandfather said should be Zaozhuang spicy chicken, this kind of spicy chicken is really delicious, and it is more of a test for fire workers and spoon workers." ”

Zaozhuang spicy chicken is actually fried chicken, the seven or eight months old tender rooster is chopped into chicken pieces, and a large amount of fresh chili pepper and rice vinegar are added to stir-fry, the finished dish is bright and flavorful, and has the characteristics of fresh and spicy fragrance.

This dish is not only very famous in the Zaozhuang area, but also can be seen in the entire land of Qilu, and is a representative dish of home cooking in Shandong cuisine.

Wei Junming said with a smile: "What I plan to teach you is the spicy chicken in the Sichuan-Chongqing region, which is completely different from the spicy chicken in Zaozhuang, the spicy chicken in the Sichuan-Chongqing region is fried." ”

Xu Zhuo naturally knew this, when he used to go to school, he used to eat this kind of spicy chicken with diced meat from chili peppers for a while.

But then I accidentally learned that the dried chili peppers in that store were reused, so I never ate them again.

Many people may not believe it, but the phenomenon of reuse of dried chili peppers is really not an exception in the catering industry.

In addition, not only spicy chicken, but also dishes that require a lot of dried chili peppers, such as sausages, are basically left on the plate.

After the customer has checked out, the waiter receives the plate to the back kitchen, and the helpers pick out the chili peppers and continue to use them when a customer orders such a dish.

These chili peppers actually play a decorative role in the dish, there is no spicy taste, and there is no fragrance.

As for the source of the spicy taste of the dish, it can be solved by throwing away the chili essence.

Seeing that Wei Junming was so enthusiastic, Xu Zhuo didn't shirk it anymore: "That's okay, then I'll relive the fun of picking meat from chili peppers." ”

"Yes, I'll teach you how to do it tomorrow morning. ”

It's already after dinner, so there's no need to cook.

And the ingredients of the spicy chicken need to be prepared, not just just do it.

After breakfast the next day, Xu Zhuo drove Yu Keke to the medical school, chatted with Ma Zhiqiang for a while, and went to the Sichuan restaurant at almost ten o'clock.

The reason why I went so late was not that Xu Zhuo was too lazy, but mainly because everyone was busy preparing food in the back kitchen in the morning, and sometimes they would hold a meeting to talk about the problems in the back kitchen.

Xu Zhuo's words will make everyone embarrassed.

Although he is Wei Junming's godson, it doesn't mean that he can participate in some things in other people's stores.

It's almost ten o'clock, and the back kitchen is almost busy, and the things that should be said have been said, and then it will pass, at least everyone will not be embarrassed anymore.

Before getting the system, Xu Zhuo didn't think about these at all.

But now, there are not many people in contact, and Boss Xu, who is stunned, has somewhat understood some sophistication.

Wei Junming has prepared all the ingredients needed to make spicy chicken.

The main ingredients are freshly slaughtered peasant roosters, Henan new generation of dried chili peppers, Sichuan Chaotian peppers, Sichuan bell peppers, dried green peppercorns, cooked peanuts, cooked sesame seeds, and green onions, ginger and garlic......

The ingredients are not complicated, but Xu Zhuo doesn't know why he uses three kinds of dried chili peppers, is this preparing fried chili oil?

"Making spicy chicken is actually the same as frying chili oil, you also need to use three kinds of chili peppers, Chaotian pepper to increase spiciness, a new generation to add color, and bell pepper to increase flavor. ”

Xu Zhuo looked at the small half bowl of dried green peppercorns: "Why do you use green ones?"

Wei Junming smiled: "This kind of dried green peppercorn has a stronger flavor of numbness, and even if it is fried for a long time, it will not have a mushy taste, which is very suitable for making spicy chicken." ”

After a pause, he said: "However, everyone has their own habits, some people like to use green peppercorns, some people like to use big red robes, there is no right or wrong, it mainly depends on the chef's personal habits." ”

Xu Zhuo nodded and began to watch Wei Junming's operation.

The little rooster had been cut in half when it had just been slaughtered, and was now soaking in clear water, presumably to remove the blood.

Wei Junming lifted half of it from the water and put it on the cutting board, and handed the other half to Xu Zhuo: "Wait a minute, you just follow me directly, this spicy chicken is very simple, with your talent, you will definitely ...... it when you look at it."

These words made Boss Xu inexplicably weak, because his talent that he would know at a glance was not there today, and if he really wanted to do it, there was a high probability that he would overturn.

But the matter has come to this point, and it is too late to bother with anything else, so Xu Zhuo took half a chicken very boldly, and prepared to imitate Wei Junming than the gourd painting.

Spicy chicken, as long as it is spicy enough, the taste and texture can be ignored.

This is Xu Zhuo's experience in eating spicy chicken for many years, and not long after this thing is drunk, the numb and spicy taste will occupy all the taste buds.

Even if you eat rice, it is authentic and spicy.

This made Xu Zhuo feel a little relieved, and as long as he put more peppercorns and chili peppers later, everything was OK.

Wei Junming put his half of the chicken on the cutting board and said: "Spicy chicken is a typical Jianghu dish, the finished dish is spicy but not dry, numb but not bitter, and the chicken is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, which makes people have an endless aftertaste."

However, with the spread and development of spicy chicken, there are more and more practices, and some exquisite chefs will choose to debone the chicken when making spicy chicken, so that customers can eat it more worry-free.

But today we won't take off the bones, after all, the bones are very difficult in knife work, not easy to master, and ......"

When Wei Junming was talking, he found that Xu Zhuo quickly chopped off the chicken claws, then turned the chicken's body over and used the tip of the knife to remove the fascia of the thigh bone.

As soon as he grabbed the chicken leg and sent it into the abdominal cavity, the chicken leg bone was completely extracted.

A set of actions was like a smooth flow, and Wei Junming was a little distracted.

When did this kid learn to debone, and he did it so quickly, it's ......

He thought about it for a long time and didn't come up with any good words to describe Xu Zhuo. But it's not important, the important thing is that the godson is promising, and he is very happy as a godfather.

Xu Zhuo continued to do the steps of deboning, and after the chicken leg bones were extracted, the chicken backbone and chicken wing bones were extracted.

Finally, the chicken is scooped up and the neck is pulled out, and there is not a single bone left in the half of the chicken.

"What did you say just now?"
