Prepare a delicious and numbing chicken dish yourself

Method

1. 01

   Step 1

   I've never seen chicken sold like this in a supermarket before; it's the part I've been looking for. I couldn't resist, so I bought it.

   

2. 02

   Step 2

   Rinse in clean water; if it's already quite clean, it only needs a little more treatment.

   

3. 03

   Step 3

   Place the chicken in a pot of cold water and bring to a boil. Use a special tool to skim off the foam. Then reduce the heat to low and simmer. Because it has been cleaned thoroughly, there will only be a small amount of foam.

   Step 4

   The seasonings include peppercorns, ginger slices, salt, and Shaoxing wine to remove any fishy smell; turn the dish over halfway through to ensure even heating, and simmer for twenty minutes.

   

5. 05

   Step 5

   Remove the chicken pieces, put them in ice water, and refrigerate overnight.

   Step 6

   The next morning, seeing how white the poached chicken was, I worried my local colleagues wouldn't accept it, so I prepared it as oil-fried chicken. I added oil to a pot, then roasted peppercorns, ginger slices, three red chilies, rock sugar for color, and a little light soy sauce—I used "Tiancheng Yiwei" soy sauce. After roasting on both sides, you could see a color gradient; it looked quite nice!
