"Cantonese cuisine is different from Sichuan cuisine. It is light in flavor, emphasizes the original flavor of ingredients, and pursues freshness, tenderness, refreshingness and fragrance."
"As one of the traditional delicacies of Cantonese cuisine, this salt-baked chicken must be the center of the table."
"There are also several stories about the origin of salt-baked chicken. I won't go into detail here. I will later upload a few of these stories to my Star Network live broadcast account. If you are interested, you can check it out."
[Look! I have to look! What if this is tomorrow's exam?]
[Yeah! To win the lottery, I have to cram in all the knowledge about ancient Earth!]
Ancient Earth Culture Researcher: [Wow, it's useless. We haven't learned a lot of the things the host talked about. I really feel like I'm studying a fake major.]
Zhang Yuan raised the corners of his lips slightly and looked at the screen with a smile.
"Now that everyone has brought this up, I'd be sorry if I didn't ask a question."
【!!! All ears, waiting for your answer! 】
[It's time to test your hand speed and memory, everyone, go for it! ]
"In my live broadcast yesterday, besides boiled beef, braised pork, and milk pudding, what other dishes did I mention?"
Zi Bu Yu: [Dongpo Pork!]
Ancient Earth Culture Researcher: [Dongpo Pork!! Ahhhh!! Mr. Dongpo!]
Although many people answered it later.
But since it was the first time I asked the question, I chose the two fans who answered first.
So, this time Zhang Yuan also chose the first two fans who answered.
"This time, just like before, we'll continue to answer the questions in the order we answered them. Congratulations to Zi Buyu and Ancient Earth Culture Researcher, two fans, for winning the prize. You can private message me your addresses."
[Ah... Is it my fault that my hand speed is slow? Streamer, woooo!]
[Host! Where's the randomness you promised?!?]
Zhang Yuan chuckled and said, "Well, next time it will be random. Good luck everyone."
The lottery is completed, back to the topic.
"Okay, let's move on. Now let's get back to how to make salt-baked chicken."
"First of all, when we make salt-baked chicken, it is very important to choose the right kind of chicken."
"Generally speaking, we choose roosters or three-yellow chickens."
[Why? Can't a female Jijiji be used?]
"Well, the hen's meat is tougher and is best used for stewing."
After explaining the fans' questions, Zhang Yuan continued speaking.
"The weight of the chicken should generally be controlled between 2 and 3 kilograms."
"After that, you need to clean the chicken thoroughly, removing the feathers, internal organs and any remaining yellow membrane, especially the two pieces of chicken fat in the chicken cavity and the waste piece on the chicken's back."
[Huh? I feel like this step has me stumped...]
[Host, can you make a video on how to process jiji meat? ]
Zhang Yuan was choked by this barrage.
After he maxed out his cooking skills, he was indeed able to prepare various poultry by himself.
But he doesn't want to!
Zhang Yuan paused, coughed lightly, and said, "Okay, I'll find someone to record a video and upload it later."
It doesn't matter if he doesn't play himself, there are too many people in modern times who can handle chicken.
There's nothing wrong with finding someone without showing their face to film a video of processing a chicken.
"Okay, I'll continue."
Zhang Yuan brought over the salt that had been prepared on the side.
He grabbed a handful and put it on the processed chicken.
"Now we need to rub the surface of the chicken with salt, especially the skin, to remove the sweat and fishy smell."
"After rubbing it for a while, rinse it with running tap water, and then rub it again with salt to ensure that the chicken skin is clean and odorless."
Taking a salt bath?! Hahahahahaha
Zhang Yuan curled his lips into a smile, a hint of teasing flashing across his eyes.
"This friend is right, it is indeed a salt bath."
"After the salt bath, we need to put the chicken into the prepared large basin."
Zhang Yuan put the chicken into the prepared large basin, and then took out a small bag from the side.
The small bag clearly says "Salt-baked Chicken Powder".
That’s right! He started advertising!
Soft-implanted advertising!
"Next, we need to open this bag of salt-baked chicken powder. Well, this will be available on my Star Network Live Shop, and everyone can buy it then."
"The salt-baked chicken powder should also be evenly applied to every part of the chicken! Remember! Be even! Otherwise, the smell will be off in a while, hahahaha."
Zhang Yuan made a few jokes about the barrage, and then continued to boil the chicken skin with boiling water to make it shrink. This way, the chicken skin would have a tighter texture and would be easier to color later.
Rinse the chicken under running water and drain well.
He then took out the yellow gardenia that he had prepared in advance.
"This is called Yellow Gardenia, and it will appear in my Star Network store later. If you are interested in making your own salt-baked chicken, you can buy it."
After happily advertising again, Zhang Yuan enthusiastically poured the prepared ginger, green onion knots and gardenia water into the chicken's stomach.
Zhang Yuan took the plastic wrap and sealed the chicken, then put the processed chicken aside.
"This is the previous step. Because it takes two hours to wait here, I have already prepared a chicken two hours ago to save time. Now is the time."
After putting the chicken away, Zhang Yuan took out another chicken.
The remaining steps are quick.
Brush with oil, simmer, and wait.
"It needs to be simmered for 35 minutes. Due to time constraints, I...um...let's just eat it directly."
