The traditional dish in Cantonese cuisine,"Steamed Chicken with Scallion Oil", is very famous and one of the representative dishes in Cantonese cuisine. In banquets, it is usually served as a white brine platter to entertain guests. It tastes original and authentic!
I also often cook this dish, mainly because it is simple and convenient to prepare, tastes good, and chews crispy and tender. Especially after serving, it looks beautiful, giving people an atmosphere.
But later I concluded that if I followed the original method, it would taste a little lighter, and everything would have to be dipped in the sauce. Through improvements, I have made the taste of the brine heavier, and the chicken has a salty and light taste. Even if it is not dipped in the sauce, the taste is still beautiful!
Today, let's first make the "chopped chicken with scallion oil" in this Cantonese dish. The main methods are as follows;

Characteristics of this dish: The color is white and shiny, the fragrance of scallion oil is fragrant, the skin is crisp, the meat is tender and smooth, and the flavor is delicious. Warm tips: 1. To make this dish, it is best to use Guangdong's "Qingyuan Chicken". If you don't have it, you can also use ordinary chicken instead, but pay attention to the heat, because the maturity of the chicken is very different. The weight of the chicken is better at 750-900 grams after cleaning. 2. When operating in all directions, it is best to use a larger hand spoon to pour soup into the chicken belly, so that the soup can be maintained at a certain temperature. The hole at the opening of the chicken breast neck should be smooth, so that the soup can flow out quickly after being poured, so that the heat from the inside out of the chicken can slowly penetrate. You should not perm for too long each time. If you perm for a long time, the skin will become unbeautiful. This traditional Cantonese dish "Steamed Chicken with Scallion Oil" with a large fried spoon is ready. The skin is crispy, the meat is tender and original, and it is served with dipping ingredients.
