Qian Haoyang was very happy that Li Yichen could understand what he was saying, so he was ready to talk about some more academic knowledge and open a small stove for Li Yichen.

"In the cooking technique of 'frying', there is a very important point of view that when the food is fried in the pan, depending on the temperature of the oil, the moisture in the food will be converted into water vapor and come out, which will collide with the fat that wants to penetrate the food, reaching an unstable and delicate balance."

"That's why well-fried food is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside."

"Just like Li Yichen said, the outer layer of food is fried, while the inner layer is actually steamed."

"Therefore, when we fry food, a very important thing must be prepared in the kitchen, that is, a fryer thermometer or a thermometer gun, which is used to check the oil temperature at any time."

"Let me give you another question, do we use vegetable oil or animal oil when we fry things?"

Qian Haoyang looked at Li Yichen and the three of them and asked.

"Vegetable oil?"

Wu Xiayong chose one of the two and guessed.

"It should be all right, right?"

Peng Cheng created a third option.

"Vegetable oil."

Only Li Yichen, who has been cooking, answered in the affirmative.

"Well, the correct answer is vegetable oil, that's right......"

Qian Haoyang asked: "Then why vegetable oil?" ”

At this time, Wu Xiayong and Peng Cheng have no way to guess, because this question is not a multiple-choice question.

Only Li Yichen said without thinking: "Because if the oil is burned too hot, it will smoke and disintegrate, and the smoke point of vegetable oil is higher than that of animal oil." ”

"That's right, good."

Qian Haoyang heard Li Yichen's answer and nodded with satisfaction.

"I would like to add that among the vegetable oils, the best choice for frying oil is peanut oil, because peanut oil has the best flavor, so the oil we use today is peanut oil."

Qian Haoyang opened a bucket of fresh peanut oil on the spot and poured it into the fryer "tons and tons".

"You have to remember that the oil that has been fried is easy to spoil, so you can only use it once or twice at most, like if you are filming a show, it is best to change the oil every day."

"Now let the oil slowly heat up to 180 degrees, and we'll coat the chicken."

Qian Haoyang took out three large iron plates and put them in front of him.

"The standard breading procedure is a three-step process, flour, egg liquid, breadcrumb."

"The innovation of rosemary buttermilk fried chicken is that it replaces the egg mixture with buttermilk."

"What is buttermilk?"

Li Yichen wondered.

"Buttermilk is the best product that is isolated when making butter, and we can hardly buy authentic buttermilk on the market now, but it doesn't matter, we can make our own fermented buttermilk as an alternative by adding lactic acid bacteria to the milk and waiting for ten minutes."

Qian Haoyang directly demonstrated on the spot, and after waiting for ten minutes, the milk with lactic acid bacteria became viscous.

"Fermented buttermilk can be eaten straight and tastes a bit like yogurt, and the acid in it is the secret to making the meat tender and juicy."

At this point, Qian Haoyang finally told the core secret of this fried chicken.

"We season the flour, 12 cups of all-purpose flour, 12 tablespoons freshly ground black pepper, 8 tablespoons of paprika, 8 tablespoons of fine sea salt, 8 tablespoons of baking powder, 8 teaspoons of cayenne peppers."

"If you can't eat spicy, Cayenne chili powder can be substituted with other chili powder, and you can distinguish between non-spicy, slightly spicy, medium spicy and heavy spicy fried chicken."

"After the chicken is dipped in a large amount of breadcrumbs, it should be pressed tightly by hand, and then let it stand for 15 minutes to get rid of the moisture so that the flour does not fall off."

After Qian Haoyang coated the chicken with flour, the oil temperature also climbed to 180 degrees Celsius.

"Li Yichen, the last step of frying, you can come."

"Me? Oh, okay. ”

Li Yichen picked up and put the chicken into the oil pot.

The chicken in the pot instantly "sizzles".

The aroma of fried protein rushed into Li Yichen's nose at once, arousing his saliva to secrete rapidly.

The chicken is fried in the pan for twelve minutes, and the skin becomes golden and brilliant.

"That's it." Qian Haoyang reminded.

"Oh."

When Li Yichen heard this, he took out the fried chicken and put it on the blotting paper.

"You can't eat the chicken right away after it's fried, you have to let it sit for five minutes, otherwise the juice inside will burn people."

Qian Haoyang explained very experienced.

The tempting fried chicken is right in front of you, but everyone can only watch it but can't eat it, it's just a torment.

But here, Qian Haoyang's words are like a holy decree, and everyone must listen to them, so after five minutes of hard work, everyone can't wait to grab the fried chicken.

Li Yichen also couldn't help it, grabbed a chicken leg, and took a bite, under the crispy skin, a stream of hot juice gushed out, the sleeping taste buds were instantly lit up, and the tender chicken seemed to melt in the mouth.

He couldn't even put into words how he felt at the moment.

The spicy puff pastry, the lightly salty, slightly sour, rosemary aroma of the chicken, like a layered tune, jumps on the tip of the tongue, and finally cleverly blends together to become the ultimate delicacy, like a heavenly taste, making people want to gnaw off the bones together.

"It's really delicious, it's not greasy at all."

No one at the scene responded to Li Yichen's exclamation, only the sound of biting crispy skin and sucking juice.

It wasn't until a piece of fried chicken was eaten that everyone woke up from a dream and exclaimed.

"This chicken feels like it has been filled with water, how can it be so tender!"

"Every time I take an extra bite, I feel a little more incredible, it's so delicious!"

"It's so delicious that I doubt my life, I feel like I've eaten it."

Everyone sighed that there was no one of the most tender fried chicken they had ever tasted.

"Wow...... I really can't believe that I made this fried chicken. ”

Li Yichen sucked on the fried chicken on his fingers and sighed.

This taste is outrageous, delicious and outrageous!

In a trance, Li Yichen even felt that he had the strength of seven Michelin stars.

Yes, Li Yichen accidentally swelled.

He felt that he was the god of cooking at the moment.

Qian Haoyang has eaten rosemary buttermilk fried chicken countless times, so he no longer has a feeling of surprise, he just thinks it is delicious.

He crossed his arms and smiled at the shocked expressions on everyone's faces, and felt relieved.

This reaction from customers is the greatest sense of accomplishment for chefs.

After a while, when Li Yichen and the three of them calmed down, Qian Haoyang taught them another trick to preserve fried chicken.

Turn on the hot air circulation in the oven, heat it to 120 degrees Celsius, and put the fried chicken in it, which will keep the flavor for several hours.

After learning this trick, Li Yichen and the others can make fried chicken in advance and serve it at the speed of light.

After this set of meticulous teaching, not only Li Yichen has swelled, but even Wu Xiayong and Peng Cheng have swelled so badly.

They are no longer satisfied with just selling fried chicken, they want to learn more dishes.
