Spicy chicken is a delicious dish that is popular with the public. It is generally made with chicken as the main ingredient and refined with various materials such as green onions, dried peppers, pepper, monosodium glutamate, etc. It is rich in nutrients and delicious. Although it is the same dish, various dishes are made with their own characteristics. The most famous one is the spicy chicken in Geleshan, Chongqing.
The ingredients of this dish are particularly particular. The main ingredients must be domesticated local cocks, which are killed and cooked now, to keep it fresh and plump. The auxiliary ingredients are not high-quality peppers produced in Sichuan and Maowen Dahongpao pepper produced in Sichuan. The dish cooked in this way has a fragrance overflowing, tempting appetite, spicy, crispy, tender and melted into dregs. It may seem easy to say, but
It is a test of the chef's skills, especially the control of the heat. The superior spicy chicken must be bright in color, complement each other with the peppers, and must not be black. The chicken nuggets must be crispy in the mouth, have the fragrance of dried peppers over oil, and are sweet and salty. The heat is very difficult to master. It can be said that "a little more will be burnt, and a little less will be uncooked."
A plate of spicy chicken is served on a large plate. There are more peppers than chicken. Diners choose slowly from the plate full of bright red peppers. Finding diced chicken is its outstanding feature and has a long aftertaste.
