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

Chapter 589-Wang Fan's White-Cut Chicken
Boss Wang is doing pre-prepared meals?
This doubt is on the minds of many diners.

There are many food safety issues nowadays. Incidents of various scales involving selling inferior products as genuine ones, zombie meat, and lymph meat are emerging one after another, which has directly reduced everyone's trust in pre-prepared meals to freezing point.

If Boss Wang uses pre-prepared meals, his fans will turn to skeptics, and skeptics will turn to haters, even if the official media endorses him!
Just when he made up his mind, the diners in front of him had already seen what Wang Fan took out of the pot, and as soon as this thing appeared, all his doubts disappeared.

China claims to be second to none in terms of the number of ways to eat chicken, and no country in the world would dare to claim to be first. There are also many provinces in China that are famous for eating chicken.

If you have to say which province cooks the most delicious chicken, it is a matter of personal preference. But if you want to say which province makes the most tender chicken, I'm afraid Cantonese is undoubtedly the first.

After all, the cooking temperature of boiled chicken is so high that if you say yours is more tender than the one it cooks, it means that your chicken is not cooked enough. This is a delicacy that is a crazy test of the boundary between doneness and undercookedness.

The mouth-watering chicken in Sichuan cuisine is theoretically the same as boiled chicken. Both are cooked by slow-cooking the chicken over low heat. The only difference is that boiled chicken is eaten with a dip, while mouth-watering chicken has the sauce poured directly onto the chicken.

Whether it is boiled chicken or mouth-watering chicken, the requirement for the chicken is to be as fresh and tender as possible. Wang Fan simply uses the boiled chicken cooking method to process the chicken.

Wang Fan had learned how to make boiled chicken before, so after such a long period of experience, it was impossible for him to stand still. Today's boiled chicken version of mouth-watering chicken was carefully upgraded by him.

Red dates, ginger, scallops, codonopsis, plus the dried sandworms Wang Fan found in Fujian, the broth made from it is so delicious that it can be used to cook chicken, even grass bark.

The most important thing is that after continuous experimentation, Wang Fan came up with the ultimate ratio of 1 grams of salt to 25 pound of water. The chicken stewed with this ratio is not only very tasty, but also can shrink the chicken skin and fat. The cooked chicken has smooth skin and meat, which is definitely the peak of chicken life.

The soaking process takes 25 minutes. It was already underway in the car, so it’s just the right time to take it out now.

It's not impossible to cut it and marinate it directly at this time, but this is only half done, and it would be a waste of the chicken that has been marinated for 25 minutes. Wang Fan, who pursues the ultimate in gourmet food, would not do such a thing.

Take out a large basin, scoop out the chicken soup from the pot, pour in ice cubes, and then remove the chicken from the boiling pot.

Just the action of scooping the chicken made the diners in front of him exclaim "Wow" continuously.

"Wow... Golden Legend..."

"If this hadn't been fished out of the soup right in front of me, I would have thought it was painted with gold paint."

"It looks delicious, worthy of being called Boss Wang."

At this time, Wang Fan was holding the chicken's neck with chopsticks and taking the whole chicken out of the soup pot. The chicken looked very distinctive, with a small beak, small wings, small chicken legs, but a big butt. The round chicken butt was unusually firm and plump, and the golden skin sparkled under the white light.

Put the chickens you took out into the basin of ice water. After all of them are in, put the raw chickens into the soup pot and stew them.

There are only about 20 fish in this pot, and he doesn't think it can meet the needs of these diners.

The chicken was lifted up and down in the soup pot, and the originally white chicken skin was stained with a little gold. Then, it was lifted up and down again, and the color of the chicken skin became obviously much darker. Then, it was lifted up and down again, and the whole chicken was actually dyed golden yellow.

"Wow, a golden chicken?"

"My goodness, this pot doesn't contain soup, it contains dye, right?"

"It really turned golden right in front of me. It's amazing!"

Wang Fan's actions were so entertaining that it seemed as if the pot he was stewing was not soup, but a dye in the diners' mouths.

There is no need to worry about whether the raw chicken is cooked directly or whether the ones that have just been taken out of the pot are still soaking in ice water. Wang Fan uses this time to prepare the marinade for the mouth-watering chicken.

The marinade of the mouth-watering chicken also inherits the traditional characteristics of Sichuan cuisine from the Xiahebang, which is heavy on numbing and spicy. Wang Fan was also quite generous when adding the sauce.

In order to make it more palatable, I sieved the chili flakes before adding the red oil, grabbed a few handfuls of cooked sesame seeds and put them into the bowl, along with salt, sugar, light soy sauce, minced garlic, a little vinegar, and sesame paste, the soul seasoning of mouth-watering chicken.

Sichuan pepper powder, sesame oil and Sichuan pepper oil were all added to the marinade bowl according to the proportions he planned. Then a few spoonfuls of stewed chicken broth and a little red oil were added, and the marinade was ready.

At this time, the people in the front of the line were almost unable to resist their greed. Although the cold red chili oil had a very light taste, those spoonfuls of the original soup were hot, which immediately stimulated the aroma of the red chili oil. Coupled with the fresh taste that was slowly infused over a low fire, it was very appetite-stimulating.

Fortunately, after the sauce was prepared, the chicken was also cooked after being soaked in ice water.

Wang Fan took the firmer chicken out of the ice water and prepared to start chopping it. Zhuo Qianqian had already updated the information on the sign. The mouth-watering chicken was 60 yuan per piece and 30 yuan for half a piece. The price was not cheap, but it was definitely not expensive in the scenic area.

Xu Mingyi was the first in line, and he was planning to buy half one.

The weather is a bit stuffy and there are a lot of people today. I don’t have a very good appetite, so it’s only because the legendary food boss came to support me, otherwise I wouldn’t have planned to eat lunch today.

But sometimes the development of the story is really contrary to one's ideas. When Wang Fan's kitchen knife quickly cut the whole chicken into two halves and then quickly cut the half chicken into chicken pieces, Xu Mingyi's heart was already shaking.

Why is it so? Why is it so?!
Looking at the chicken pieces on the table, Xu Mingyi's pupils contracted and he couldn't help but roar loudly in his heart.

Foul! This is totally unsportsmanlike!
Tell me what comes out when you cut open a chicken leg? And what is that thick layer of gelatin under the skin?
Why have I never seen a finished product like this after eating chicken for so many years?
You can tell it’s delicious just by looking at it!

"Hello, would you like one or half?"

Before the thought of half a chicken even crossed his mind, his mouth had already given the answer: "One, I must order a whole one. Boss Wang, what is this jelly-like substance under the skin of your chicken?"

Wang Fan swiftly picked up the takeaway box and placed the chicken inside. "The chicken broth is highly concentrated, and if you quickly soak it in ice water, the chicken will solidify quickly. Without losing the chicken juice, this layer of chicken jelly will form."

After saying this, he scooped a spoonful of the sauce he had just prepared and poured it evenly over the chicken.

Wang Fan felt extremely anxious as he glanced at the group of diners. He was not looking at the beauties secretly, but he mainly wanted to see if there were any Cantonese people in the group. After all, such a successful boiled chicken soaked in chili oil might be more painful to the Cantonese people than killing him.

No one rolled up their sleeves, it seems safe for the time being...

I'm afraid my wallet is not safe!

This is the exact opposite psychological activity of all diners and Wang Fan.

Who in the family understands?

"Soul juice... pour it here!"

These six big words have been stuck in my mind.

The sight of the rosy red oil soaking through the golden chicken was truly captivating. The oil slowly slid down, coating the golden chicken skin in a layer of crimson. Crushed sesame seeds, peanuts, and chili peppers dotted the surface like stars, stimulating everyone's visual nerves and causing some to mutter to themselves.

"Hiss... Is this the real drooling chicken?"

"Oh my goodness, this is much better than what I ate a few days ago. It's simply not the same thing."

"Boss Wang is so terrifying, I can't think of any words to describe this chicken."

"It's the same soul juice, but others have to speak the words out loud, but Boss Wang just asked me to do the dubbing in my head. It's so scary."

Xu Mingyi could no longer control himself. He quickly scanned the code to pay the bill, then picked up the mouth-watering chicken that belonged to him and quickly walked towards a seat on the side.

He now felt his appetite sweeping over him like a wave, and he was eager to taste what this legendary chicken jelly tasted like and what it felt like.

The diners in line looked at Xu Mingyi enviously as he ran away quickly, and then looked at the queue in front of them with hope.

"I hope the people in front of me buy half a piece so that it will be my turn faster!"

Xu Mingyi found a good place and sat down. He hurriedly opened the lid and took a deep breath. The rich and mellow aroma of chicken mixed with the spicy and fresh taste really made him feel intoxicated.

Pick up a piece of chicken and take a look. The red fat forms a layer of oil film on the chicken. Even on a cloudy day, it feels like the chicken is glowing!
The piece picked up is chicken leg meat, which is obviously cut thicker than other parts. Under the red oil layer is golden chicken skin, and below that is the layer of brown chicken jelly. This should be the essence of chicken juice, right?
Under the chicken jelly is the tender white chicken, and the smooth cut makes the chicken appear exceptionally delicate and smooth. Then...

"What the hell?"

One of the standard features of boiled chicken is that the bones are red, and this is also the case with Xu Mingyi.

The red bone marrow in the chicken leg bones oozes out slightly, but there is no fishy smell, and it does not make people feel disgusted. Instead, it increases appetite.

Although I have never eaten this kind of blood-streaked food, since Boss Wang dares to sell it, there is no big deal for me to try it, right?

With this idea in mind, Xu Mingyi put the chicken into his mouth.

The slight coolness makes the red oil appear extremely moist, and the silky feeling in the mouth is very satisfying.

When the tip of his tongue touched the chicken, the three flavors of numbness, spiciness and fragrance burst out in his mouth almost at the same time. It was really the first time he knew that fragrance could also be a flavor.

The hot stinging sensation, the numbing taste like an electric shock, the aroma of sesame seeds, sesame oil, pepper oil, and chicken filled his mouth, making him so happy that he couldn't help but raise his brows.

He will never forget who the protagonist is.

As soon as I applied force with my teeth, the chicken skin broke like a rubber band. The chewy touch was unbelievable. Then my teeth slid effortlessly into the chicken jelly, and a rich and extremely fresh aroma of chicken suddenly burst out in my mouth.

The chicken jelly has a smooth and bouncy texture. It begins to melt the moment it touches the tip of your tongue, and the rich aroma of chicken begins to bloom on your tongue.

I can't believe how delicious this is!

The unique delicious smell and taste of chicken can actually ignore the power of chili, peppercorns and sesame oil, and show its deliciousness as meat in an incomparably pure way.

How is this done?
Never mind, I’m not a chef, I don’t care how he does it, the most important thing is that he enjoys the food!
"Ah wu..."

"Say..."

Xu Mingyi's mouth made a crunching sound because he ate too fast, which made the passing tourists look back from time to time.

But he had no extra thoughts to pay attention to these things at the moment. Under the crazy temptation of this top-notch delicacy, he just wanted to keep stuffing chicken into his mouth.

He also discovered that compared to chicken legs, chicken back meat was actually more delicious!

Crispy and chewy chicken skin, a thick layer of chicken jelly, and a thin layer of lean chicken meat. Just a sweep of the tongue will eat all the meat on the bones into your mouth.

Chewing at the same time, the three tastes quickly blend into one. The juice from the melted chicken jelly is mellow and delicious, and it continues to penetrate into the chicken as you chew, making the chicken more fragrant the more you chew.

Numb, spicy, fresh, fragrant and tender, this is the real authentic Sichuan dish - mouth-watering chicken!

All I ate before was dog food... Ugh!

He was enjoying his meal, but Wang Fan was extremely busy.

The queue of diners was already long, but fortunately everyone was of good manners and no one was making loud noises. The base even sent Li Mu to maintain order.

Looking at the huge crowds of people queuing up, Li Mu had a misconception: Did Hua Ju escape? And was he staying in Boss Wang's RV?

It's just a mouth-watering chicken, what's the big deal?

Li Mu's thoughts changed when he stole a glance at the mouth-watering chicken in the diner's hand - it seemed a bit too serious?
It looks really delicious.

What Wang Fan was worried about finally happened. A Cantonese man really appeared in front of him.

The waiter looked at Wang Fan as if he were a criminal and said indignantly, "Boss Wang, no matter what, you still cook this chicken the same way you cook it."

Wang Fan smiled awkwardly: "Isn't this method of white-cut chicken more tender?"

Huang Yufeng snorted, "My weak heart has been ruthlessly trampled upon. Only boiled chicken with ginger dipping sauce can heal the wounds I have suffered."

Although Wang Fan thought the young man was a little immature, the Cantonese people did have a special feeling for boiled chicken, so it would be better for him to make up for it a little. Besides, the ginger dipping sauce was also very simple to make, and the ingredients were ready.

"Okay, I'll be ready soon."

Huang Yufeng nodded in satisfaction, and his heart immediately calmed down.

You are eating mouth-watering chicken, and I am eating boiled chicken. Since we are not eating the same thing, there is naturally no need to compare. What does the mouth-watering chicken you eat have to do with our boiled chicken?
Minced ginger, chopped green onion, chicken powder, sugar, salt, and a spoonful of hot oil are added, and the fragrant ginger paste is ready. Huang Yufeng left with his boiled chicken very satisfied, and found a relatively quiet corner to enjoy his own delicacy alone.
