manufacturing method
The production of Shikou roast chicken is divided into four steps: chicken selection and slaughter, cleaning and shaping, ingredient stewing and sugar roasting. It seems simple, but it requires extremely high skills.
Selection and slaughter of chickens
Chicken Selection: The authentic Shikou roast chicken chooses live chickens and small Chai chickens raised by farmers for about one year, instead of pure broilers. The feeding cycle of meat-eating chicken is very short, and a large number of hormones and antibiotics are used in the feeding process. Its meat is very soft, easy to turn into mud after stewing, sticky and tasteless, and the taste and healthy taste of Shikou roast chicken are self-evident.
Slaughter: Cut the trachea of live chicken weighing about 1500g, drain the blood, scald it with hot water at about 65℃, remove chicken feathers, peel off the old skin of legs, mouth and claws, then cut it open from the buttocks, take out the internal organs and drain the blood.
Cleaning and shaping
Roll up the chicken leg, insert the paw into the abdomen, draw the right wing from the mouth, connect the head of the chicken with the right wing as a whole, arch the neck of the chicken, and point the left wing at the root of the wing. The whole roast chicken is restrained, solemn, generous and beautiful.
Braised ingredients
Before stewing Shikou roast chicken, put an iron grate at the bottom of the pot to prevent the pot from burning, then put the processed chicken into the pot according to its tender age and add soup to prevent the chicken from floating. When cooking, simmer with strong fire, simmer with low fire, and float the oil pressure for 4 to 5 hours. During this period, there should be a special person waiting to master the heat. There's a secret to roast chicken: "Roast chicken, add eight ingredients, and add soup stock". Eight condiments are tangerine peel, cinnamon, cardamom, galangal, clove, Amomum villosum, Amomum tsaoko and angelica dahurica. Soup stock is the soup stock for cooking chicken.
