Preparation and ingredients of kiln chicken

The main ingredient of Yaoji is chicken. This delicacy has been around for a long time and is a very famous delicacy. It is now loved by many people. Although the preparation method of Yaoji is relatively crude, the Yaoji produced is indeed very delicious and will make people linger in the aftertaste for a long time. The preparation method of kiln chicken is simple. Just add some ingredients into the cleaned chicken stomach and then simmer it in the kiln.

Ingredients:

A chicken, banana leaves or lotus leaves, various seasonings (according to your preference), ginger and garlic, tin foil, etc.

Production steps:

1. Kill a domestic chicken (domestic chicken is different from feed chicken, if you don't have domestic chicken, feed chicken will do), remove the internal organs, chop the ginger and garlic, put them into the chicken's stomach, apply the prepared seasoning on the surface of the chicken, stuff the chicken feet and head into the chicken's stomach as much as possible, marinate for 1-2 hours, boil the banana leaves or lotus leaves with clean water, and let them dry. Now it's time to dig a kiln!

2. Digging soil is also very particular. The mud must be clean. Dig large pieces of mud and pile them together. It is easier said than done. Generally speaking, it takes at least half an hour to build a kiln. First, dig a 3-10 cm deep pit where the kiln is to be built according to the size of the kiln (this is how I build the kiln, which is conducive to maintaining the high temperature of the kiln so that the chicken can be cooked quickly). Then build the kiln up layer by layer until it becomes a pyramid-shaped kiln with a top. It is done, and the next step is to burn the kiln.

3. Firing the kiln is a very particular step, but of course it is also a very simple step. In short, fire the kiln up and down until the mud inside is red and the mud outside also looks slightly red. Make sure to fire the kiln well, otherwise the chicken may not be cooked. When firing the kiln, wrap the marinated chicken with banana leaves or lotus leaves layer by layer. Make sure it is wrapped tightly, then wrap it with tin foil. It is best to wrap it in several layers and tie it with a rope.

4. Once the kiln is fired, take out the remaining wood from the kiln, carefully put the wrapped chicken in, and place it in the middle of the kiln! The most important step is here, building the kiln. Use a large wooden stick to break up the soil on the top of the kiln. Break up all the soil little by little. Remember to break it up. This will allow the chicken to be wrapped in the high temperature of the soil. After the kiln is built, cover the built kiln with a layer of unburned mud. The reason for covering with a layer of mud is to create an environment similar to a pressure cooker in the kiln. Then, after waiting for 1 hour, you can start digging the kiln and enjoy the delicious food!
