Chestnuts are my favorite food, sweet powder. Especially when I go out in winter, I always buy a bag of hot sugar-fried chestnuts when I pass by a chestnut shop. In addition to stir-fried chestnuts with sugar, they will also be very fragrant when cooked with meat. This time it is cooked with chicken legs, which is a classic combination. The chestnut taste is soft and waxy and has the aroma of chicken legs. The chicken leg meat is also stained with the sweetness of chestnuts, and the big bowl is full. It's so happy.
Autumn and winter are the season when chestnuts are on the market. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that chestnuts can nourish the spleen and strengthen the stomach, nourish the kidney and strengthen the muscles, and promote blood circulation to stop bleeding. It has a good curative effect on kidney deficiency, so it is also called the "fruit of kidney". However, chestnuts are difficult to digest raw, and cooked food is easy to stagnate. Eating too much at one time will damage the spleen and stomach. You can eat up to 10 chestnuts a day.
