Chapter 64: Three Flavors of Fried Chicken (Part I)
Yang Ci called the waiters in the guild over and told them to prepare the baking kiln, with his identity, borrowing the baking kiln was naturally not a problem, and the waiter did not dare to slack off, so he immediately went to arrange it.
On the other hand, after a few minutes of running, Wang Yong returned to a restaurant, at this moment Liu Li and Guo Jia were preparing lunch, Dian Wei also came over to help because he had nothing to do, and the three of them were still a little abrupt when they saw Wang Yong coming back.
"The owner...... How did you get back? Liu Li hurriedly stepped forward to ask, she was really worried, the shopkeeper was not worried that they would come back.
"It's nothing, come back and get some materials...... That's right! I'm going to make fried chicken at the chef's guild, why don't you come and try it? Wang Yong walked towards the back kitchen and asked casually.
"No...... No need, thank you very much......" Liu Li heard this, first showed interest, then remembered something, and finally lowered his head and refused Wang Yong's invitation.
"It's lunchtime, and we're going to be busy...... This time it seems that there is no good luck. Guo Jia also said that he was a little embarrassed. As for Dian Wei, she was very interested, but Guo Jia's words made her swallow this idea again.
"That can't be ......" Wang Yong rummaged in the warehouse for a while, finding the yeast powder, tender meat powder and black pepper he wanted, and of course, the freshly marinated tomato sauce, and walked towards the door, "But it's nothing, I'll make another one for you to try when I come back!" ”
"So, let's wait, go all the way!" Guo Jia smiled and said goodbye to Wang Yong with Liu Li and Dian Wei.
After a few more minutes, Wang Yong returned to the chef's guild, but at this time, he saw Yang Xian trying to fry chicken. Just look at the oil pan now, the chicken nuggets are fried to a "sizzling" sound, and a fragrance permeates the air.
"Alright, out of the pot!" Yang Xiu was optimistic about the time, fished it out directly, put it on top of the kitchen paper, and filtered out the excess grease, I have to say that this step is indeed beautiful.
Regardless of whether the fried chicken has just been fried or not, there is still a lot of excess fat on the surface, which is easy to burn when eaten directly, and it will look very greasy when it is eaten cold. So using kitchen paper to absorb excess grease is the best way to dispose of it.
"Grandpa, come and try it and see how this fried chicken goes!" Yang Xiu excitedly shouted to Yang Ci behind him.
"Wrap the chicken in too white flour and fry it...... Yes, the skin is crispy, and the chicken inside is okay, so it's okay to think in this direction! Yang Ci took a brief taste, and then gave a pertinent opinion.
"See, just as you were preparing the materials, I had already figured out a solution!" Yang Xiu looked at Wang Yong proudly, "I don't know your method, what is it?" If it's like me, don't take it out and make a fool of yourself! ”
"I'm just curious, where did this white flour come from......" Wang Yong was very curious, this is really curious, you must know that in his impression, too white flour (called chestnut flour in island countries) or corn starch is made of potato starch, even if it is changed, it should be corn or sweet potato starch, but there are obviously no these three crops in this world.
"You mean too white? It's so easy! Yang Xiu looked puzzled, "Wouldn't it be nice to use cassava to refine it?" ”
"That's right!" Wang Yong suddenly realized that strictly speaking, cassava and taro can also be refined into starch, but his eyes are limited to sweet potatoes, potatoes and corn. However, when it comes to the starch extracted from cassava or taro, the first thing that generally comes to mind should be potato flour cake, crystal dumplings (flour and cornstarch are the raw materials for dumpling skin), flour balls and taro balls.
In particular, taro balls are actually very compatible with bubble tea. Because of this, it is rare to associate cassava and taro with white flour or cornstarch.
"By the way, in this case, isn't this fried chicken Tang Yang's fried chicken?" Wang Yong immediately complained, it seems that because Tang Yang means 'dry fried' in the island Chinese, it is also called dry fried fried chicken, of course, there seems to be another name, called Longtian fried chicken.
"Tang Yang fried chicken?" After Yang Xiu heard this name, he immediately felt that something was wrong.
"Originally, I was going to make fried chicken with this fried method!" Wang Yong smiled and walked up slowly, "It's just that there are still some flaws...... Before frying this, you should first coat it with a layer of egg wash and then coat it with too white powder, so that the effect will be better. And you're going to fry it straight until it's cooked ......."
"Don't say it so clearly!" Yang Xiu suddenly pursed her mouth, with her genius, she just thought of this step, but as soon as Wang Yong came, she actually looked like she 'understood very well', pointing at her idea.
"No, no, no!" Yang Ci thought for a while, but still stood up, "The point of dipping egg liquid is indeed a stroke of genius, I didn't expect Wuwu to know so much about fried chicken." So the way to make the skin crispy and the chicken tender is ......"
"Indeed, I went back to prepare! By the way, Master, I don't know how the baking kiln is prepared? Wang Yong patted the bag he was carrying, and then asked.
"It's ready to go!" Yang Ci nodded.
"Don't worry, I'll make Tang Yang fried chicken for a while!" Wang Yong smiled, he knew that Yang Xiu was not convinced, and he didn't know where he provoked this little junior sister and made her look hostile from the beginning.
"Okay!" Yang Ci was not in a hurry, he really wanted to see how far this fried chicken method that Yang Xiu had just figured out could be done in Wang Yong's hands.
Tang Yang fried chicken is actually very simple, first of all, it is cut chicken, in fact, chicken wings or chicken can be used, put in the marinade and white sesame seeds, mix well, and then marinate for half an hour. The marinade is mainly ginger, garlic paste, soy sauce and cooking wine, etc., which are adjusted according to the taste.
However, Yang Xiu happened to have pickled ones over there, so Wang Yong didn't need to wait, just take it and use it.
Coat the marinated chicken first in a layer of egg wash and then in a layer of cornstarch. At this time, you should gently pat it and drain the excess cornstarch. At this time, the oil pan has begun to heat, and the oil temperature is about 60%, so put a few pieces into the oil and fry them for two minutes.
Wang Yong didn't dare to take out the clock, but he had funnels, one-minute, five-minute, thirty-minute, and one-hour funnels. Even if there is an error in the time, it is about two to three seconds, so you can predict it in advance.
Two minutes later, he took out the fried chicken, set it aside to drain the oil, and let it sit for five minutes.
"That's it? I'm afraid that the fried chicken is only half-cooked, right? Yang Xiu directly mocked.
"Now, it's really not ripe!" Wang Yong smiled, "Wait a minute, and then we have to re-bomb!" In this way, the fried chicken will be crispier on the skin, and at the same time, it will keep the chicken inside smooth and tender......"
In fact, if you really want to be smooth and tender, I'm afraid that you have to add some tender meat powder, but since he uses Yang Xiu's pickled chicken, he won't add it indiscriminately, and it doesn't make sense to add it temporarily.
Continue to burn the oil on high heat, this time until the oil temperature is 80% hot, and then put the chicken in the pan and fry it for a minute until the color becomes darker and the surface is crispy, then pick it up and put it on kitchen paper to absorb the excess fat.
"Tang Yang fried chicken, done!" Wang Yong put the finished fried chicken in front of Yang Ci and Yang Xiu, "Please taste it!" ”
