Yu Hao Crystal Chicken Special Ingredients

The origin of crystal chicken

Authentic crystal chicken was founded by Mr. Chen, a famous chef in Qing Dynasty. His ancestral home is Zhanjiang. Mr. Chen studied under his grandfather and loved to eat chicken since childhood. Therefore, he has a unique understanding of how to eat and cook chicken, and then he created a special ingredient for curing chicken for pickling and dipping. After several generations' circulation and the promotion of Guangdong chefs, Zhanjiang Crystal Chicken (also known as steamed chicken, classical chicken and bucket chicken) has become a famous dish in Guangdong. In order to spread this famous dish to the vast number of food lovers, our company has produced a special formula for crystal chicken in batches according to the ancestral secret recipe of our ancestors and combined with modern production technology, hoping that consumers can enjoy it at home. Here's how to make this dish: raw material 1, a whole chicken (about 2.3 kg of fresh chicken), special material for Yu Hao crystal chicken 18 g (available in vegetable market, supermarket and online), and 20 g of pure peanut oil (or special juice for Yu Hao crystal chicken).

First of all, pick a chicken: choose a fresh chicken weighing about 2.3 kg to see if the comb is convex, regular and serrated, and the color is natural and bright red. At the same time, look at whether the chicken's eyes are bright and whether the chicken's pores are complex, shiny and hairless. See if the chicken feet are short and thin and the tibia is small, and judge whether to walk on the ground and stock them. Touch the firmness and toughness of chicken breast and chicken feet to judge whether the feeding time is long enough. The top grade is about 150 days. Such as: Zhanjiang chicken, Qingyuan chicken, Wenchang chicken, Yu Hao chicken, Sanhuang chicken, fine-footed chicken, etc. For chicken washing:

Clean up the chicken oil, viscera and chicken blood in the chicken cavity, and then drip dry the water. Specific operation flow: prepare 1 package (just 18g) of special ingredients for Yu Hao crystal chicken, first wipe the chicken belly and chicken body with special sauce for Yu Hao crystal chicken or pure peanut oil, then put half of the ingredients into the chicken belly and rub them evenly; Spread the other half of the ingredients evenly on the chicken and marinate for 5 minutes. After the water boils, add the chicken and steam 15- 18 minutes. Don't overdo it. Better just cook and eat. Cut the chicken into pieces!

If you poke the chicken easily with chopsticks, it is basically cooked; 2, cut off the bright red in the chicken leg bones as immature, black as overripe, and deep red as the best maturity.
