Dapan chicken is a traditional food in Xinjiang. It originated in the late 1980s. The main ingredients are local chicken and potatoes. The dishes are bright in color. The chicken is smooth and spicy. The potatoes are soft, waxy and sweet. It is usually eaten with belt noodles. It is a good food on the table. In fact, the big dish chicken I made this time can't be called Xinjiang big dish chicken. Because I haven't eaten the authentic big dish chicken. Many ingredients can't keep up with it. It can only be modified according to the taste usually eaten in the restaurant, combined with the taste of my family. It can't be made into belt noodles. It's also very good with rice. So I call this dish the home-made big dish chicken.
Step1:Clean the chicken. Remove the internal organs (chicken liver and gizzard). Throw away the chicken head, chicken claws and chicken pp. then cut them into small pieces for use. I use the kind of farm chicken that is only about two Jin old. After killing and cutting the pieces, the available chicken is only about one Jin more. The meat is very tende

Cooking tips:It's good for Dapan chicken to choose the small, loose raised chicken. Because the meat is tender, the production time is short, it's easy to ripen, and the taste is good. This time, I use the chicken that has only about two Jin of adult chicken. After killing and cutting the pieces, I will probably have more than one jin of usable chicken. If not, then use Sanhuang chicken. It's also very good. Never buy the older native chicken, not to mention the firewood chicken or broiler in the market. The meat is firewood and old. It's not suitable for this dish. The amount and taste of potatoes can be put according to your own preference. If you like the soft point, you can add it to the pot at the same time with the chicken. Only if the chicken is tender and easy to cook. If you don't like the stew too soft, put it in the middle. I want the chicken to be darker. In the first step of cooking, first stir fry the chicken with sugar, then stir fry it with spices. I'm lazy this time. I didn't stir fry the sugar. Actually, the difference is not big. Use beer instead of water to make this dish. It can play a good role in deodorization. It can also make chickens
