Chapter 532 Jackfruit and Coconut Chicken
Coconut Chicken!
As the name suggests, this is a dish related to coconut, so coconut will naturally be used.

At this time, there were four huge coconuts placed on the cutting board. Both the color and appearance were different from those seen before.

The coconuts Chu Yunfeng usually saw in the supermarket were all gray and looked very smooth. They should be finished products with the skin removed.

The four coconuts on the cutting board looked like they had just been picked. They looked green. Only then did Chu Yunfeng realize that they looked like this without peeling them.

I saw Chen Quanhai cut open the skin with a knife, and then used a hollow steel pillar to punch in through the eye holes on the coconut. After all the eye holes were opened, he poured out the coconut juice.

After processing the two coconuts, chop two of the Wenchang chickens into small pieces and soak them in water.

What Chu Yunfeng didn't understand the most was that there was something he had never seen before placed next to the two coconuts. The skin was green, a little big, and irregular in shape. He didn't know what it was.

Chu Yunfeng was curious about why Chen Quanhai didn't blanch the chicken but soaked it first. Is the purpose of soaking it to avoid the step of blanching?
The processing of the coconut chicken ingredients stopped here, and then Chen Haiquan started processing the other two chickens. This made Chu Yunfeng become curious. Didn't he prepare the coconut chicken first?
Chen Haiquan took out a bowl of salt, grabbed a handful of it, stuffed it into the belly of Wenchang chicken, and started massaging it with his hands.

Huh~!

Is there something different about this salt?

Chu Yunfeng saw that the table salt in this bowl was very different from what he had seen before. Not only was the salt large in size, but it also smelled like the sea.

"What kind of salt is this?"

Chu Yunfeng couldn't help but asked curiously.

"This is sea salt, and it is coarse sea salt produced locally in Hainan. Is it different from the refined salt we usually see?

To make this plain-cut Wenchang chicken, you must use this kind of coarse salt to make it delicious. "

Chen Haiquan replied with a smile, this is one of the secrets of delicious plain chicken.

"I see. No wonder people say that Wenchang Chicken has a unique flavor. It seems like it is really unique here."

Chu Yunfeng immediately understood why many people said that the white-cut chicken is delicious even without dipping sauce. It seems that the sea salt played a big role.

After rubbing the sea salt into the bellies of the two chickens, Chen Quanhai threw in a few more garlic cloves and then put the two chickens on the stove.

A pot of water was already boiling on the stove. The water was already boiling. Chu Yunfeng thought that Chen Haiquan would just throw the chicken in and cook it. Unexpectedly, he used a very unique technique.

This made Chu Yunfeng become interested and he observed with great interest.

Chen Haiquan held the two feet of the chicken and put the whole chicken into the pot first. After spinning it twice on the water for about 8 seconds, he lifted it up again.

After remaining still in the air for about 10 seconds, the whole chicken was lowered into the boiling water.

After repeating this three times, when he brought it up again, Chu Yunfeng immediately discovered the trick.

"Is this to let the chicken skin shrink and set its shape first?

And it can also maintain the elasticity of the chicken skin, so that the skin will not break after being directly put into the pot? "

Chu Yunfeng asked, wanting to verify whether his judgment was correct.

"As expected of Master Chu, he understood the truth at a glance. It is indeed like this. If you put it into the pot directly, the chicken skin will be cooked without shrinking.

Wenchang chicken usually matures after 20 minutes of cooking, so in order to ensure the elasticity of the chicken skin, it must be allowed to shrink first. "

Chen Quanhai admired Chu Yunfeng's vision and experience very much, but other chefs might not be able to discover the secrets.

Moreover, this was Chu Yunfeng's first time encountering this kind of cooking method. He could tell based on experience alone that his cooking skills were indeed very impressive.

"In order to ensure the bomb is high, you need to refrigerate it after cooking it, right?"

As soon as Chu Yunfeng said these words, Chen Haiquan was immediately so surprised that his mouth could hold a goose egg. This, this, this is a bit too awesome, right?
"I didn't even take out the ice cubes, how did you know?"

In fact, Chen Haiquan didn't take out the ice cubes at the beginning, just to show Chu Yunfeng the unique way of making the white-cut chicken.

But he didn't expect that Chu Yunfeng saw the beginning and even thought about the ending. Wouldn't it be boring to go to the movies?
"Didn't you say it's for spring? After cooling and heating, the chicken skin will shrink better, the elasticity will increase a lot, and the taste will be very satisfying."

Chu Yunfeng said calmly, with a faint smile on his face, as if he was very calm inside.

But Chen Haiquan was different. There was a huge wave in his heart. They all said that he had a glimpse of the whole leopard, and he finally saw it today.

As expected, he is a chef that he admires. This famous chef is not as good as meeting him. No wonder he has achieved such an achievement.

"After it is cooled and then cut, the chicken will be better in pieces because the meat will shrink and there will be no minced meat."

Chu Yunfeng added a little bit, which was due to his own experience, but unexpectedly Chen Haiquan laughed when he heard what he added.

"Haha~! Master Chu, this is not suitable for Wenchang chicken."

Chen Haiquan smiled mysteriously and waved his fingers, indicating that he did not agree with Chu Yunfeng's words.

"Hmm~? Is there any problem?"

Freshly cooked meat is not firm. If you cut it directly with a knife, there will be a lot of minced meat. This is common sense. Why does Chen Haiquan not agree?

"This Wenchang chicken is different. Even if it is hot, it will not be like that. Its meat is very tender, so it is no problem to cut it cold or hot."

Common sense will overturn when encountering specialness, and Chu Yunfeng got "good luck", but this only shows that this Wenchang chicken is indeed special.

After Chen Haiquan put both chickens into the pot, he came back to work on the coconut chicken dish.

After soaking the chicken in water for a while, it was obvious that blood came out. After draining and washing, Chen Haiquan put them all into the pot.

Then he poured all the coconut milk in. He thought he would just put it in the pot and start stewing it, but unexpectedly, Chen Haiquan started to put the green irregular thing on the cutting board.

After opening it, Chu Yunfeng immediately smelled a very unique fragrance. After taking another look, he realized that it should be a kind of fruit.

The flesh inside was golden. Chen Haiquan took out a lot of the flesh and threw it into the pot together with the coconut milk and chicken. Then he finally put it in the pot and started stewing it.
"what fruit is this?"

Chu Yunfeng saw Chen Haiquan take a piece and put it in his mouth to eat, and then he also took a piece.

"This is jackfruit. Use it and coconut milk to cook the Wenchang chicken. It tastes very good, even better than coconut milk alone.

I discovered this accidentally. You will know after you try it.

Okay, let's start getting some dip dishes. "

Chen Haiquan said to Chu Yunfeng with shining eyes.
