Tengzhou clay pot chicken

Region: Tengzhou City, Shandong Province (Weishan Lake)

Origin of the name: The origin of earthen pot chicken is the fishing boats on Weishan Lake. Due to the limited conditions on the boat, they often take a small clay stove, put an iron pot on the stove, and put a few pieces of dry firewood underneath to make a fire. Then they cook a pot of vegetables according to the usual homely method, and stick pancakes on the edge of the pot, so this cooking method that combines rice and dishes was created. Tengzhou is located on the shore of Weishan Lake. Earth pot chicken has also moved from fishing boats to the homes of Tengzhou people, becoming a specialty food there. Tengzhou's earth pot chicken is undoubtedly the most authentic and genuine! Iron pots are generally used to serve food in restaurants or at home, but in high-end hotels, they have been replaced with more beautiful porcelain basins.

Ingredients: chicken, chili pepper, coriander, seasoning, flatbread (we have a local snack called "baked bread" in Tengzhou, which is delicious when eaten with it), iron pan

Method: It is the same as the method of stir-frying spicy chicken. After frying, put the roasting pan along the pot, put the spicy chicken into the pot, and heat the iron pan.

Don’t rush to eat the pot cake (grilled cake) when the dish is served. Wait until the juice of the dish soaks into the pot cake before eating it. That’s when it will be flavorful! In addition, there are also ground pot fish, ground pot vegetables, and ground pot ribs! Earthen pot chicken is a traditional famous dish that originated in the Weishan Lake area at the junction of northern Jiangsu and southern Shandong. The main ingredients are chicken, eggs, white flour and corn flour. The taste is fresh and mellow, and the pancakes borrow the flavor of the vegetables, and the vegetables borrow the fragrance of the pancakes.

In the past, due to limited conditions on the boat, fishermen working on Weishan Lake often took a small clay stove, put an iron pot on the stove, put a few pieces of dry firewood underneath to make a fire, and then cooked a pot of vegetables according to the usual homely method. They also covered the edge of the pot with dough, thus giving rise to this cooking method that combines rice and dishes. Diguo dishes have less soup and taste fresh and mellow. The pancakes borrow the flavor of the dishes, and the dishes borrow the fragrance of the pancakes. They are soft and smooth yet dry and fragrant. Nowadays, some chefs have improved the preparation methods of traditional ground pot dishes, and thus launched ground pot delicacies such as ground pot chicken, ground pot fish, ground pot beef, ground pot three fresh dishes, ground pot tofu, and ground pot lobster.
