Method for blanching chicken
If you want to cook delicious chicken, it is most appropriate to blanch it with cold water.
Because the chicken suddenly meets hot water, the blood in the body will be difficult to cook, and if cold water is put into the pot, the chicken will slowly relax in the process of hot water, and the blood in the chicken will be cooked slowly, so that the fishy smell of the chicken can be completely removed, and the taste of the chicken will not become firewood.
In the process of cooking, adding a few slices of ginger, onion and cooking wine can achieve better deodorization effect. The blanching time should not be too long, and it should be controlled at about 6-7 minutes.
As the temperature rises, some blood foam and oil slick will slowly emerge from the water surface. Skim off the foam, then take out the chicken and water it several times before the next cooking.
