The farm in our community sent you a bag of fresh ginger this week. In the owners' group, a group of confused housewives and men were asking each other how to use fresh ginger. Ginger is seldom used in cooking. It is dried ginger powder at best. I wonder about it for a while, too. Of course, I can put it in the breakfast healthy milkshake or curry. But when does it need a little bit. Suddenly I think of our Hakka salt baked chicken. You can use half of the fresh ginger at a time. So I called my aunt in Meizhou and asked for her salt baked chicken recipe. -
Step1:Wash the whole chicken. Put the chicken in a can or a cup without handle and stand it up. Put it in the refrigerator for one night. Let the chicken skin become very dry.
Step2:Mix ginger powder and salt. Mix oyster sauce and sesame oil. Mix oyster sauce and sesame oil like beating eggs. Put it aside for future use.
Step3:First, apply the mixture of oyster sauce and sesame oil to the whole body and inside of the chicken.
Step4:Then spread the salt and ginger on the body and stomach of the chicken. Fully massage in.
Step5:Slice ginger and wash with scallion.
Step6:Put the onion and ginger into the chicken's stomach.
Step7:The front and back holes are sealed with tin foil.
Step8:I wrapped it in 4 layers of baking paper and tied it with kitchen rope. If the baking paper is stable enough, it is better not to tie it with rope.
Step9:Stir fry the sea salt to remove the water and get very hot.
Step10:Add pepper and anise. Stir well.
Step11:Add some ginger powder and stir fry.
Step12:If the wok is big enough and there is enough salt, use the wok directly. I used this enamel pot. First spread some of the salt. Then put in the wrapped chicken.
Step13:Then pour the rest of the salt in and cover the chicken.
Step14:Cover. Simmer for 1.5 hours.
Step15:It's like this after baking. Pour the chicken juice oozing from the baking paper into a bowl (for dipping).
Step16:Slice. Pack. Decorated with flowers I planted. Beauty is dead.
