Dong 'anzi chicken
Dong 'anzi chicken is a traditional and famous dish in Hunan. It began in the Tang Dynasty. According to legend, during the Kaiyuan period of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, there was a small restaurant opened by three elderly women in Dong' an County, Hunan Province. Several business guests came one night. At that time, the food in the store had been sold out. The owner brought two live chickens, slaughtered them immediately, washed them, cut them into small pieces, added onions, ginger, pepper and other seasonings, after high fire, stir-fried them with hot oil, added salt, wine, vinegar, and braised, poured on sesame oil and taken out of the pan. The chicken has a strong aroma and the taste is tender. The guest officer was very satisfied after eating it. After the event, he announced it everywhere. The restaurant became famous. Diners from all walks of life came to this restaurant to eat chicken, so this dish gradually became famous. The county magistrate of Dongshou County heard about this and also came to the store to taste it. He named it "Dong 'an Chicken" has a history of more than 1,200 years and has become the most famous dish in Hunan.
I also knew about cooking this dish for the second time in the future, but I forgot the filming process for the first time, so no matter what, I had to upload this hand-made Hunan dish before the end of the event. After tasting it, I felt that it was still very successful. It was sour and spicy, and had a strong aroma.
