Speaking of smoking chicken with tea, this is what I wanted to do a year ago.
However, when I have been reading the information, I always say that doing this will cause a lot of smoke.
Moreover, I didn't know whether to smoke raw or steam it first and then smoke it.
Recently, I saw a method about making tea-smoked chicken, which once again made me want to move.
We can't wait any longer, we can't hesitate any longer,
Practice is the only criterion for testing truth!

Steps for Private tea smoked chicken legs

1
1 fresh chicken leg, 10 grams of tea (I used Tieguanyin this time), appropriate amount of rice, appropriate amount of yellow sugar, and appropriate amount of onion and ginger.
2
Wash the chicken legs first, dry them in water, then add salt and dried lemon slices to massage to let the flavor enter the chicken legs and make the meat more tender and smoother. Then put it in the refrigerator and refrigerate for a day.
3
After the chicken legs are refrigerated for 1 day, they are thawed at room temperature, then put boiling water in the pan and set the heat to a minimum. Don't let the water boil away, just keep it at a certain temperature. Then add green onions and ginger.
4
Add Li Kum Kee's double tea soy sauce to the water in the pot. Soak the chicken leg in water and slowly let it soak until it is done.
5
Stir the rice until fragrant, then spread tin foil in the pan.
6
Place the fried rice, tea leaves, yellow slices of sugar and appropriate amount of five-spice powder on tin foil.
7
Place on stainless steel shelves, then place chicken legs, cover, and smoke over high heat for 5 minutes.

After 5 minutes, the seductive chicken legs that you couldn't stop were on the table.Private tea smoked chicken legs Make Tips
This is a way to make the chicken legs taste tender and smooth. Remember not to add high heat or cover the pot during this period. Soak the chicken legs for about 10-15 minutes until they are ripe at 8-9. You can use chopsticks to rub the thickest part of the chicken leg to see if you can insert it in. If you can insert it, it means that you are ripe. Remember, you can't overcook it, because you will have to smoke it later. If you overcook it or fully cook it, the meat will be very firewood! The soaked chicken legs should be put out and air-dried slightly to show dryness.
