How to stew a whole chicken deliciously and easily?

The chicken on the market now is generally raised in farms. Although the chickens have become bigger and have more meat, they lack the natural taste. In fact, if you want to buy real natural chickens, you can go to the country market to buy them, or you can even go directly to the villagers' homes and choose to kill and eat them on the spot. The easiest and most common way to eat chicken is to stew it. So, how to stew a whole chicken deliciously and simply?

Material:

A chicken, onion, ginger, a spoonful of cooking wine, aniseed, salt, dates, wolfberries, and pumpkin.

step:

1. Process the purchased chicken first, gut it, remove the internal organs, and chop it into small pieces.

2. Boil some water, not boiling, just hot. Pour it into the bowl containing the chicken, remove the dirt on the surface of the chicken and drain the water.

3. Marinate the chicken pieces with green onion, ginger and a spoonful of cooking wine to remove the fishy smell.

4. Put the cooled chicken pieces into a casserole, pour in water to cover the chicken pieces, add a large clove of spice (one is enough, more may cause the spice smell to take away the flavor of the chicken), bring to a boil over high heat. Don't be afraid of trouble at this time, be sure to use a spoon to skim off the foam on the surface of the soup, so that the chicken will taste better.

5. Turn to low heat and simmer until the meat is cooked. It will take nearly two hours. It will be faster if you use a pressure cooker, but the taste will not be as good as if it is cooked in a casserole over low heat.

6. Add some salt at the end and stew it for a while. Salt should be added last, otherwise the meat will become hard.

7. When the chicken was halfway cooked, I added some jujubes and wolfberries. Finally, when the chicken was almost done, I suddenly remembered that there was a pumpkin steaming in the pot over there. I had an idea, so I cut a few pieces of the steamed pumpkin, threw them into the chicken soup and stewed it for a few more minutes.
