Chapter 48 Snow and Incredibly Spicy Fried Chicken
Not long after the Spring Festival, snowflakes began to fall again.
However, it was different from the first blizzard.
This snowfall seems much gentler.
Tiny snowflakes drifted down gently, without any wind, falling naturally.
This is what I saw from one corner of the windshield.
Previously, due to wind and snow, there was no snow accumulation in the northwest corner.
This is how I can observe some of the weather.
The inside of the windshield is different from the indoors; it's a transition between indoors and outdoors, and the temperature is still very low, at least minus twenty degrees Celsius.
I was wearing a coat and holding a cup of hot tea.
While drinking, I stood in the windshield and looked out at the snow through the northwest corner.
Later, it got so cold that I couldn't stand it anymore and went back to my room.
Just take a look; there's no need to stay outside freezing the whole time.
As soon as I entered the room, I felt warm all over.
I sat on the sofa, warming myself by the fire, and finished the remaining half cup of tea.
Thinking about what to eat today.
I'm craving something with a strong flavor today.
Only extremely spicy and sufficiently oily food can match a snowy day.
Let's fry some fried food and have some.
I'm going to fry a whole chicken, and also some chicken wings, potato wedges, sweet potato fries, and other snacks.
First, marinate the whole young chicken and chicken wings with fried chicken marinade.
Worried that it wouldn't be flavorful enough, I also poked some small holes in it with a toothpick.
While the chicken is marinating, cut two potatoes into wedges and two sweet potatoes into strips.
Thaw 5 more skewers of chicken strips, 5 skewers of chicken cartilage skewers, and 3 volcanic rock sausages.
Then pour a lot of oil into the iron pot and heat it with firewood.
When you dip the tip of a chopstick into the oil and small bubbles appear, the oil is about the right temperature.
Coat the fried chicken with breadcrumbs and gently fry it in oil.
With a sizzling sound, the fried chicken started bubbling all over the pot.
At this point, add the chicken wings along the edge of the pot.
Once the fried chicken is firm, take it out along with the chicken wings, let it cool slightly, and then fry it a second time.
The fried chicken and chicken wings are golden brown and sound crispy.
Sprinkle cumin powder and extra-spicy chili powder on the fried chicken and chicken wings.
It looks absolutely delicious.
Then, cut the potatoes into wedges and boil them in water for 5 minutes.
Then dip it in the prepared cornstarch slurry and fry it in a pan.
Stir it occasionally to prevent it from sticking together.
Once the potato wedges are fried until crispy and golden brown, they are cooked through.
Drain the potato wedges and sprinkle with some barbecue seasoning; they're ready to serve!
Boil the sweet potato fries in water for 5 minutes as well.
Then coat them with cornstarch and fry them in oil.
Once the sweet potato fries are fried until firm and crispy, they are ready to be taken out of the pan.
After cooking, sprinkle some white sugar on top, and the soft, sweet potato fries are ready.
Finally, put the chicken cartilage skewers, chicken strips, and sausages into the pot.
The hot oil sizzled as they were fried, and after frying them the first time, I fried them again.
Take them out and sprinkle them with barbecue seasoning and chili powder.
At this point, take two bottles of Coke and throw them into the windshield to chill them.
Learn from the food vloggers' plating style: take a huge tray and line the bottom with parchment paper.
Then, place the fried chicken, chicken wings, fried chicken strips, chicken cartilage skewers, sausages, potato wedges, and sweet potato fries in that order.
A large plate was piled high with food.
The colors are very beautiful, ranging from various shades of golden yellow, pale yellow, and burnt yellow.
Then they brought in the chilled Coke, and as soon as it was placed under the windshield, it made me shiver from the cold.
It was still snowing outside, so I grabbed a Coke and quickly crawled back inside.
It was warm and cozy inside.
I sat across from the large platter of fried food and filled the largest glass with iced cola.
Then I found "Reply 1988" and started enjoying today's food while watching it.
Deok-sun eats fried chicken at home, and I eat fried chicken at home too.
First, break off a fried chicken leg. The outer layer is fried to a very crispy texture, and it's still a little hot to the touch when you break it off.
Gently break it open, and the tender meat of the chicken leg will be revealed, and fresh chicken juice will flow out.
I couldn't wait to take a bite of the tender meat inside.
The chicken thigh meat is tender and smooth, juicy, and not greasy at all.
Take another bite of the crispy outer layer.
The crispy crust has a unique aroma from being deep-fried, mixed with the spiciness of chili powder and the aroma of barbecue seasoning, becoming more and more fragrant the more you chew.
It was absolutely awesome.
The potato wedges are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, with a unique potato aroma that tastes exactly like the ones sold outside.
Sweet potato fries become even sweeter when dipped in white sugar. Eating sweet potato fries after consuming various salty and spicy fried foods is exceptionally satisfying.
I've been craving volcanic rock sausage for a long time. The outer skin is a bit hard, but when you bite into it, the juices burst out.
It's very satisfying to chew big mouthfuls.
Then, I ordered some extra spicy chicken wings. They were fried until crispy on the outside, but the meat inside was still very tender.
Gently bite one end, and with a strong pull, the bone will come off easily, making it very enjoyable to eat.
At first, I didn't feel anything, but it got spicier and spicier as I ate.
I drank most of a glass of iced cola in one go. It was so refreshing that it suddenly didn't feel so spicy anymore.
Although I ate very slowly, I still got a little tired of it towards the end.
I finished the chicken legs and wings, but I really didn't want to eat the chicken necks and breasts left.
Two small dogs sat at the table, staring at me longingly for a long time.
I peeled off the skin of the fried chicken with the chili peppers on it, picked out the harder bones inside, and shredded the remaining meat and bones by hand.
Put everything into the dog's bowl.
The two dogs quickly finished the meat, and then each of them picked up a chicken leg bone and lay down to gnaw on it.
Its two paws gripped the bone, and its teeth chewed on it with a crunching sound.
These two little rascals are really enjoying their food.
I was actually already full, but since it was all fried food, it was a bit greasy, so I wanted to eat something refreshing to cut through the grease.
So I found a packet of cold noodles.
After boiling the cold noodles in water, rinse them with cold water and then add the sauce.
I've digested the cold noodles a little better now, and I feel like I'm all good again.
He slurped up a big mouthful of cold noodles, stuffing his mouth full.
The sweet, sour, and spicy cold noodles are very refreshing and immediately wash away the greasiness from the fried chicken you just ate.
Then take a couple of sips of the ice-cold noodle soup, it's incredibly refreshing.
With a belly that looked like she was four months pregnant, she started cleaning up the mess.
Leftover potato wedges, sweet potato fries, and chicken strips were left on the table instead of being taken to the kitchen.
After an afternoon of cleaning and wiping, I finally digested it.
Finally, take a hot shower to wash away the greasy smell of fried chicken.
Change into soft, clean pajamas that smell of laundry detergent.
Then I made myself a cup of milk tea.
While letting her half-wet hair dry, she sat in a chair at the dining table, sipping milk tea and continuing to watch "Reply 1988".
He would occasionally pick up a potato wedge or sweet potato fries and continue eating.
After the initial greasiness wore off, it now tastes even better.
The snow was still falling outside the window, and since there was no wind, my last northwest corner was also covered by heavy snow.
It was freezing cold outside, but the house was warm and cozy thanks to the stove and heated brick bed.
I was wearing comfortable pajamas, watching TV shows while drinking milk tea and eating snacks.
There's simply nothing more satisfying than this.
