How to make Sichuan-style chicken

We are a nation that pursues delicious food, and we are very particular about eating. Below, I will introduce to you a Sichuan-style mouth-watering chicken recipe. You can try to make it yourself after reading this.

1. Wash the three-yellow chicken, put it in a large pot, add cold water to cover the chicken, add ginger slices, scallions and a little cooking wine

2.12 Cover with lid and cook over high heat

3.21 Bring to a boil over high heat, then turn to low heat and cook for three minutes, then turn off the heat and simmer for 15 minutes

4. While the chicken is simmering, peel and crush the peanuts, put them into a dry pan together with white sesame seeds, stir-fry until fragrant, and set aside. (Stir-fry slowly over low heat. You can add crushed peanuts first and then white sesame seeds. Then stir-fry together until fragrant and slightly yellow.)

5. Put one tablespoon of Sichuan peppercorns and five tablespoons of cooking oil in a cold pan, fry the Sichuan peppercorns slowly over low heat until fragrant, then remove and discard.

6. Prepare a small bowl, put a tablespoon of chili powder in it, turn to medium-high heat to heat the oil in the pot, turn off the heat and wait for a while (about ten to twenty seconds, otherwise the oil temperature will be too high and the chili powder will be burned black and burnt), then pour it into the small bowl with the chili powder

7. Stir the chili powder with hot oil and set aside

8. Take the stewed chicken out of the pot and immediately soak it in cold water with ice cubes for at least fifteen minutes. (The hot and cold make the chicken skin shrink instantly, becoming smooth, crispy and tender)

9. Put minced ginger, chopped green onion, minced garlic, sugar, sesame paste, balsamic vinegar, light soy sauce, fried white sesame seeds and crushed peanuts into a small bowl, mix well, then add the chili oil from step 7 and mix well. Remove the chicken from the ice water, cut into pieces, and pour the prepared sauce over it.

Maybe you have eaten Sichuan-style mouth-watering chicken before, but you never knew it was made like this. And since you are well aware of the real practices, what reason do you have to do it yourself? In this way, you will experience the true sweetness.
