Chapter 48 Anqing Saliva Chicken

Traveling food is a habit I have formed in the past few years. Because of my work, I travel here and there, and I have the problem of delicious food. Every time I go to a place, I want to try the famous dishes there. When I arrived in Anhui, the first stop was Fuyang. I ate alone in a restaurant near the train station. Maybe it was because I was too hungry. The salty dishes and thick rice really made me hard to swallow. for a while.I thought that Anhui's geographical location was not suitable for growing rice, so the rice was thick.However, when I arrived in Anqing and tasted the fragrant and tender rice and the delicious Anqing dishes, I realized the mistake of taking it for granted.

There are almost no local famous dishes in Anqing. Most of the famous dishes and delicacies are imported from outside, and the famous dishes from other places are cooked to satisfy the appetite of Anqing people.Anqing people also love to eat and know how to eat, especially love to cook.And the taste of Anqing people is very special, and they emphasize different things, so they tamper with those famous dishes, adding sweetness to those without sugar, etc., until the changes meet the taste of Anqing people. Chicken is very popular in rural China and is a delicacy everywhere, and Anqing is no exception.The love of chicken in the whole of China may also be discussed from the Chinese tradition. Monks (monks) and Buddhist believers can eat eggs; Some beggars also created their delicacy - beggar's chicken.Chicken is also a well-known delicacy.In addition, common people believe that chicken is the most nutritious, so eating chicken is advocated all over the country to create a chicken culture and chicken eating culture with Chinese characteristics.

Anqing's saliva chicken is a little different from other places' saliva chicken. In terms of cooking, Anqing saliva chicken is steamed. Put the whole chicken in a steamer and steam it.Especially as a native of Hunan, I see mostly colorful Hunan dishes and many dark ones. When I suddenly see that white and tender whole chicken, I feel a little indifferent in my heart.And Anqing people don't seem to like to eat hot food, so they make it a cold dish, which makes it even more cool. However, Anqing saliva chicken is not really a cold dish, but a hot dish. It is steamed with salt sprinkled on the chicken, and then served with a plate of red pepper juice. and so on.In fact, red chili sauce is a kind of vinegar sauce unique to Anqing, which has a very strong vinegar flavor; the juice is also made of hot soup, but it is not steaming. It looks cold and sets a style for the dishes.

Anqing saliva chicken is eaten in a very special way. It is not cut into pieces with a knife, but picked up with chopsticks. The chicken itself has been steamed very badly, and the meat comes out when you gently insert the chopsticks into it.Then soak it in red pepper juice or dip it in some juice, and put it in your mouth. It tastes sour first, then sweet, and finally has the aroma of chicken. When you taste it, you also need to experience it carefully.But you can also eat it without dipping in red pepper juice. The first thing you smell is the taste of chicken, but it is sweet when you eat it. You can also feel that the chicken does not need to be chewed at all. Just suck it and the chicken will melt in your mouth. The chicken skin is sticky Sexy and chewy too.If you are a person who eats chicken skin, you should taste the chicken skin of Anqing Drool Chicken, which can better compare the taste of other chicken skins.The most delicious part of the saliva chicken is the chicken breast. Except for the ribs, the chest is a thin layer of meat. The bones are easy to remove, and the meat is easy to be crushed. In addition, the chicken breast has been cut open when the chicken is killed, and salt is added when steaming. Flavor, toppings are the best place to go.

After eating the Anqing saliva chicken, I have to sigh the contribution of the working people to the food, how many things need to be tried, and the food is no exception.
