Chapter 912 Don't look calm on the surface, but in fact, in your heart...
Xu Zhuo is not pretending to be forced in front of Wei Junming, but just to pave the way for the next spicy chicken overturn.
If he didn't perform this skill of deboning, if the spicy chicken overturned after a while, Wei Junming might doubt Xu Zhuo's attitude, and even doubt Xu Zhuo's talent.
But as soon as the skill of deboning the whole chicken comes out, even if the spicy chicken is useless, Wei Junming can still remember the highlight of deboning.
even made up for the fact that Xu Zhuo was busy practicing the whole chicken bone removal in private, so he didn't pay attention to the plot of learning new dishes.
This is the purpose of Xu Zhuo.
Of course, he also wanted to try whether the whole chicken bone removal skill he got last time was good or not.
Now it looks like it's pretty good.
Although this is half a chicken today, it is more convenient to remove the bones, but without skills, Xu Zhuo really doesn't know how to operate.
Wei Junming saw that Xu Zhuo had taken off the bones of the chicken, so he also took off the bones of his own half of the chicken.
The speed is slightly faster than Xu Zhuo's, and at first glance, he is a person whose basic skills are very good at home.
It's time to chop the chicken after it has been deboned, but now that the chicken has been deboned as a whole, there is no need to chop it anymore, just cut it into small pieces of one centimeter square.
Before cutting, Wei Junming took the kitchen paper and wiped it on the chicken and said: "Before cutting, try to clean the moisture on the surface of the chicken, so that it is easier to marinate and the fried taste is more crispy." ”
After speaking, Wei Junming took a kitchen knife and began to cut the chicken pieces, this step was not difficult for Xu Zhuo at first, and the two of them cut the chicken into small pieces almost at the same time.
Once it's cut, put the chicken in a small pot and it's time to marinate.
This is a freshly slaughtered chicken, so you don't need to blanch, if you buy a white chicken or a three-yellow chicken, it is best to add the blanching step.
Wait until the water has been blanched before seasoning.
For other dishes, pickling is not important, because it will be seasoned later, and as long as there is a base flavor when pickling.
But when making spicy chicken, the marinating step is very important, because after frying, no flavor can enter the chicken.
And in this step, the chicken should be marinated thoroughly, but not too much, because the marinated meat is salty, which will affect the final product.
Wei Junming added a spoonful of salt, a spoonful of sugar, a spoonful of pepper, and a little light soy sauce cooking wine to the basin.
Then add some shredded green onion and ginger, mix evenly and set aside to marinate.
Taking advantage of this time, Wei Junming began to teach Xu Zhuo to prepare accessories.
Needless to say, there are all three kinds of dried chili peppers, and all three chili peppers must be soaked in warm water.
This can wash away the dust on the surface, and it can also make the dried peppers have a little moisture, so that they can be pasted when they are put into the pot.
After soaking, wipe it dry first, and then use scissors to cut the new generation and chaotian pepper into small pieces, while the bell pepper is cut in half.
The proportion of these three kinds of dried peppers is also different, of which Chaotian pepper and bell pepper each account for one-fifth, and the new generation accounts for three-fifths.
And the total amount of all chili peppers is almost twice that of chicken.
True?? Pick the meat from the pepper pile.
In addition to the dried chili, you also have to prepare some minced green onions, ginger and garlic, and when preparing minced ginger and garlic, you should pat it with a kitchen knife, so that it will be easier to cook the flavor after a while.
After all these were ready, the two chatted for a while, and after the chicken nuggets were marinated for about ten minutes, they began to prepare for the frying process.
Put the oil pan on the shelf, pour oil into the pan and boil it over high heat.
When the oil was hot, Wei Junming used chopsticks to pick out the shredded green onion and ginger in the basin, and then beat an egg yolk into the basin.
"What does that mean? Isn't it all beaten egg whites? How do you change it to egg yolk?"
Xu Zhuo's face was full of doubts, there are so many tricks for middle-aged people.
Wei Junming smiled: "Adding egg yolk can make the chicken more golden and make people more appetizing." ”
Is it so professional?
Xu Zhuo also beat an egg yolk into his pot of chicken.
After grabbing and mixing evenly, Wei Junming grabbed a small handful of flour and put it into the basin and continued to grasp and mix.
"Releasing the flour can make the skin of the chicken more crispy, taste better, and better lock in the moisture in the chicken. ”
Xu Zhuo knew this very well, and also grabbed the flour and put it in the basin and grabbed it and mixed it.
In the end, Wei Junming poured half a spoonful of oil into the basin and asked Xu Zhuo: "Xiao Zhuo, do you know the reason for adding cooking oil?"
"Yes. The purpose is to let the chicken spread out quickly after being put into the pot and not stick together. ”
After speaking, Xu Zhuo also added half a spoonful of cooking oil to his basin.
Just grasp and mix evenly, the oil in the pot is also burned to 70% hot, and it is ready to be fried.
Wei Junming took the spoon and stirred the hot oil in the pot, and after the oil turned, he turned the heat to the maximum.
Then he picked up the small basin with the chicken and poured the chicken from the basin into the pot in one fell swoop.
Stir the chicken quickly with a spoon and remove it with a large colander when the surface of the chicken is yellow.
Chicken should not be fried for too long, lest it will lose the moisture inside.
Therefore, in order to make the chicken crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, it is necessary to shorten the frying time, and the shortening method is to re-fry.
When the chicken is just taken out, the residual temperature is still very high, and these residual temperatures can basically make the chicken cook thoroughly.
The main purpose of re-frying is to increase the color and make the chicken present that crispy taste by the way.
Another point is to force out the excess oil on the surface of the chicken, so that the chicken tastes dry and fragrant without being greasy.
After the chicken is taken out, it is necessary to use a fine strainer to remove the debris from being left in the pan and being fried, resulting in the whole pot of oil being full of bitterness.
When the oil is 80% hot, pour the chicken in again and stir it with a spoon a few times to fully expose the chicken pieces to the hot oil.
After 20 seconds, place the colander on the oil drum, then pick up the pan and pour all the oil and chicken pieces into the colander.
The chicken pieces fried in this way are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, even if they are not fried, Xu Zhuo feels that it is not unpleasant.
However, Wei Junming obviously didn't think so, he put the wok on the stove, poured a spoonful of rapeseed oil into the pot, and burned it on medium heat.
Xu Zhuo didn't follow up on this step, because he wanted to see the whole process, so as not to forget the steps in a hurry.
This kind of behavior fell in Wei Junming's eyes, but it became ......
Stable.
He didn't know at all that although his tall and handsome godson was calm on the surface, he was already panicked in his heart.
Because the next step, every step is very important, and the heat is also crucial, if you are not careful, this well-known spicy chicken at home and abroad will be made......
Litter.
The oil temperature is hot, Wei Junming grabbed two handfuls of dried green peppercorns and put them in the pot, and at the same time turned the heat down, so as to maximize the numbness in the peppercorns.
In order to prevent him from remembering the steps, Boss Xu quietly took out his mobile phone, aimed it at Wei Junming's pot, and pressed the video button.
"What are you doing here?"
"Oh, it's nothing, I'll take a video and send it to Coco, tempt her, save her from eating snacks and skipping meals......"
