Food: Random stalls, customers chase me all over the country

Chapter 181-Come out, garlic fried chicken!

"Huhuhu..."

"Oh, I'm so tired..."

Wang Fan and Zhuo Qianqian had fun until 3 pm. After changing their clothes and returning to the store, they were exhausted.

Although I was physically tired, I was mentally very excited, as if I had truly been blessed.

"Boss, what should we buy this afternoon? I feel like I have no energy left."

Zhuo Qianqian slumped in the chair, as limp as a noodle.

Wang Fan was not in much better condition. He sat on the chair with his hands clasped together and leaned on the back of the chair.

"We're having fried chicken and French fries tonight. I marinated them last night."

Wang Fan's voice was lazily filled with emotion. Considering his physical strength, he felt very tired today.

Fortunately, he had anticipated this last night and marinated the chicken wings and drumsticks in advance.

As for whether it is Shandong cuisine...

As long as I use onions, ginger and garlic to stir-fry the fried chicken, even a master of Shandong cuisine will have to recognize it as Shandong cuisine!
Fried chicken may seem simple, but it is actually not difficult. However, the taste of the fried chicken still needs to be divided into different levels.

Some people can fry the chicken to perfection, with a crispy skin and fresh and fragrant chicken, while others can fry the skin until it is burnt, while the chicken inside still has blood streaks.

Wang Fan's method of marinating chicken is also different from others. In addition to putting onions, celery, lemons, green onions, garlic, and ginger in the bowl containing chicken legs, he also poured a lot of sugar-free yogurt into it.

They took out a large basin of marinated chicken from the freezer. There were two large basins full of chicken legs and wings, weighing more than 200 kilograms.

There is also a large basin in the freezer containing blanched potato strips.

Zhuo Qianqian came up like a curious baby and said in surprise, "Wow, Boss, this is the first time I've seen someone marinate chicken legs and wings with yogurt. Will it taste good?"

Wang Fan shrugged: "I don't know. This is just a sudden idea I came up with. I don't know if it tastes good or not because this is my first time making it."

Zhuo Qianqian smiled slyly: "Boss, anything you produce must be top quality."

Wang Fan said, "Flattering is useless, let's get ready to work."

After the chicken wings and chicken legs are marinated, they need to be battered and fried. Before that, of course, you need to prepare some crispy frying powder first.

Wang Fan poured three parts of flour and one part of corn starch into the basin, and added some salt and baking soda.

After stirring evenly, prepare a large basin of water.

Wang Fan picked up a chicken wing and said to Zhuo Qianqian, "Look, first put the chicken wing in the crispy fried flour, then turn it over twice. Then scoop up the crispy fried flour with your hands and cover the chicken wing with it. Bury the chicken wing in the crispy fried flour and press it down a little."

As he spoke, he started to work, and soon the chicken wing was covered with crispy fried powder.

After taking out the battered chicken wings, Wang Fan continued, "Pick them up and shake them to remove any excess crispy batter back into the basin. Then place them in this colander and soak them in clean water for 2 seconds."

Wang Fan soaked the chicken wings in clean water and took them out two seconds later. A lot of the crispy fried powder that was originally sticky to the chicken wings had melted into the water.

"Continue to repeat the first step of applying flour, and rub it appropriately until the chicken wings have the snowflake-like patterns that appear when the dough is first kneaded."

Zhuo Qianqian watched Wang Fan's movements carefully, and indeed found that there were many white cotton-like stripes on the chicken wings.

"You try it too." Zhuo Qianqian picked up a chicken wing and started to imitate Wang Fan's movements, just like a child who got a new toy.

I was a little unfamiliar at first, but after a few tries I was able to do it pretty well. I do have some talent for it.

"I'll fry a plate first to try it out."

Wang Fan said this and started pouring oil into the pot.

Zhuo Qianqian asked curiously, "Boss, I've always heard people say that you need to use 6% oil temperature for frying chicken. How do you know if it's really 6% oil temperature?"

Wang Fan picked up a wooden chopstick and said, "See this chopstick? Put your hand over the oil pan. When you can feel the heat, stick the chopstick into the oil."

As he said this, he stuck the chopsticks into the oil pan, but there was no change in the oil pan.

"Look, nothing happened now, which means the oil temperature is not high enough."

After a while, small bubbles began to appear on the part of the wooden chopsticks inserted into the wok. "Look, now that small bubbles have appeared, it means it's about 6% hot. Now you can add the chicken wings."

While explaining, Wang Fan picked up the chicken wings and put them into the wok. The moment the chicken wings entered the wok, the oil in the wok instantly surged, and the flour on the outside of the chicken wings was also changing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"At this point, you should turn down the heat to prevent the oil temperature from rising. If you're unsure, just keep poking your chopsticks in the oil. As long as the bubbles don't change, it's fine."

Wang Fan’s detailed teaching allowed Zhuo Qianqian to quickly understand the ins and outs of this.

"I understand, I understand. The boss is really amazing. What he teaches is much simpler and easier to learn than what is in those videos."

Zhuo Qianqian raised her thumb and kept feeding Wang Fan sweet talk. Wang Fan had no expression on his face, but the corners of his mouth were unconsciously slightly raised.

After all, who doesn’t like to be praised by others?

He himself did not need to use chopsticks. With his enhanced nose and ears, he could accurately tell how hot the oil was just by listening to the bubbling sound and smelling the smell.

"Don't flip the chicken wings too early when frying them for the first time. You want the crispy skin to set. Once one side is slightly golden brown, you can flip them over and fry the other side."

As he spoke, Wang Fan picked up a chicken wing with chopsticks and turned it over. The skin of the downward-facing chicken wing had been fried until slightly golden brown and still had beautiful scaly shapes.

Zhuo Qianqian had already smelled the rich aroma of fried chicken wings, and she unconsciously stuck out her tongue to lick her pink lips.

After playing in the Water Splashing Square for half a day, I had already digested all my lunch and now I feel a little hungry.

Wang Fan pushed Zhuo Qianqian's evil little hand away: "You dare to pick up the chicken wings right out of the frying pan? Don't you want the claws anymore? And it's not a complete form yet, wait."

Zhuo Qianqian smiled awkwardly and retracted her little paw: "This...it's really because the one you made, Boss, is so delicious that I couldn't help myself hehehe."

Wang Fan glared at her and said, "Go chop the green onions, ginger, and garlic. After you chop the garlic, rinse it with water to remove any juice. You didn't forget, did you?"

Zhuo Qianqian shrank her neck and ran to the chopping board: "I haven't forgotten, I remember it clearly."

"Well, after taking out these chicken wings, wait until the oil temperature reaches 7% hot and fry them again. The bubbles at 7% hot will be denser than before. Fry for 15 seconds. If you fry them for too long, they will become burnt."

While Wang Fan was waiting for the oil temperature to rise, Zhuo Qianqian had already started working.

After all, I had practiced it before in Mount Tai, so I can be said to be familiar with it.
