Food: How come this boss knows everything?

Chapter 249 The significance of grilled chicken racks and memories of that era

Marinated chicken rack,

Put it in the oven and bake.

Because it contains meat and bones, the chicken rack is a thicker roast.

So the general idea is to bake slowly over low heat.

After brushing a small amount of oil on the surface, slowly roast the fat from the chicken rack.

In addition, the charcoal should be broken up to allow the chicken frame to be heated more evenly and give it a slightly smoky flavor.

The first baked

It is the meatier side of the chicken rack.

Once shaped, turn it over and roast the bone side.

Li Rui handed the chicken rack to Xiao Han.
"If you bake it yourself in a store like we do, if you can't judge the heat well at the beginning, you will definitely not burn it if you turn it over frequently."

"It won't taste good if it's burnt," Xiao Ma added.

About the thing between grilling and cooking.

Teacher Li talked a lot.

Although the young man seemed to understand things like fire, the Stone Age, and the Steam Age,

But the operation is very serious.

He held the skewer carefully and dared not let go of it even while talking.

Li Rui patted his shoulder.

"Don't be too nervous, we are just practicing, don't be afraid of making mistakes."

"Ah."

Time passes slowly,

The smell of smoke and fire was gradually becoming stronger even with the kitchen exhaust.

Barbecue can always stimulate the most primitive appetite of human beings.

Especially after physical training.

Ma Jinge smelled the scent and moved closer to the oven.

"Boss, it smells so good."

"If you say the same line again, your salary will be docked, Pony."

"No." Xiao Ma covered his mouth and gave up his seat at the boss's signal.

Li Rui took out the necessary seasonings.

"This time we made it with a slightly sweeter flavor. In addition to the barbecue ingredients, we also sprinkled a little sugar."

"These seasonings are sprinkled before grilling, and the fat on the grilled food is used to fry the seasonings until they are fragrant."

Li Rui demonstrated the technique of sprinkling seasonings, and sprinkled sugar and barbecue seasonings on the chicken rack.

Twisting fingers,
Fine particles are scattered evenly.

The most primitive cooking method, yet also with a modern touch of sophistication.

Then, Li Rui held two bottles of black liquid in front of the two of them.

“Guess what’s in here?”

The sour smell was strong, and Xiao Ma said quickly: "Give me some vinegar!"

The other bottle is not hard to guess.
There are only a few types of black liquids in the kitchen.
Just regular soy sauce.

Soy sauce can enhance the flavor and color.

A small amount of vinegar is used to help dissolve sugar and add a sour aroma.

The two liquids are sprayed on before leaving the oven.

Add the final color, aroma and taste to the grilled chicken rack.

The grilling process itself was not difficult. With Li Rui explaining it, Xiao Han successfully grilled a chicken rack that looked good.

Both sides are slightly charred and the aroma is fragrant.

While barbecuing, Li Rui also simply fried two dishes to improve the quality of the employee meals.

However, Li Rui was not in a hurry to let Xiao Han try cooking.

He has good knife skills and has been an apprentice in the kitchen for three years. The reason why he doesn't dare to cook is that he has lost too much confidence under the suppression of others.

Barbecue is not only the root of all cooking techniques, but it is also relatively simple to make, which can help the young man regain his confidence.

Comrade Ma Jinge agrees with the young man's version of grilled chicken rack.

"It's delicious. Xiao Han, you grilled it well. During the competition, you can grill skewers for the judges."

After listening to this, Xiao Han really thought about it seriously.

"The top ten finals will be free to play, Sister Ma, it's not impossible now that you put it that way."

One dares to say,
The other one is trustworthy. This is what the human employees of the store are like.

Only the smart refrigerator in the store maintained rational thinking and searched for information about the previous competitions, which were displayed on the side screen:

The two stages of the preliminary competition are the competition of limited dishes and limited ingredients.

Provide training to employees.
It does not delay business.

Boss Li's shop will open on time in the evening.

The first wave of customers today were three middle-aged men. They did not choose the booth upstairs.

They surrounded the first floor directly.

"Waiter, take your order."

Xu Aimin, who was ordering food, asked the other two friends for their opinions, drew on the paper, and recommended his favorite skewers.

"The grilled chicken racks in this store are great. I must try them. I'll give you three first."

"Is it as good as what Lao He baked?"

Lao He, the customer who was teased, didn't take the joke his old friend made on him seriously.

He said:

"Then you have to try it to see if it tastes the same as before. There are so many grilled chicken racks now that I can't find the original taste."

I recalled the days when I was doing barbecue.

Chicken racks have little meat.

Not worth eating.

The reason why it became a very popular ingredient at the time was closely related to the economic situation at that time.

Eating chicken bones as a starting point for meat is really a helpless act when one is poor and has no other choice.

Although it's not very delicious,

But it's cheap.

People have figured out many ways to cook chicken racks, either roasting or frying, creating a unique delicacy.

Lao He also joined the catering industry after being laid off. Although he did not work there for a long time, he is very familiar with grilled chicken racks.

The greatest role of a chef is to turn ordinary ingredients into something people love to eat.

Not long after, the dishes ordered by the three people were served one after another, interrupting Lao He's memories of the past.

The chicken rack takes a little longer to bake.
It came up soon after.

"Try it." Old Xu handed the chicken rack to the two old friends, and then took one for himself.

You can tell the chicken racks in the store are grilled with charcoal just by smelling them, which makes them much more smoky than some electric grilled chicken racks.

In addition, the caramelized aroma of chicken and fat mixed with the spicy aroma of seasoning is also rich.

The baking temperature is also very well controlled, with both sides slightly burnt and an attractive reddish color.

"It's a bit like that." Lao He said, holding the grilled chicken rack.

The other two urged him:

"Eat it quickly."

They are all old men, and they have no image burden at all when they eat.

The three of them started right away.

Put the chicken carcass next to your mouth and tear it apart with passion.

From time to time, you have to smack the chicken bones.

When you suck between the bones, the salty, fresh and slightly sweet taste combines with the aroma of chicken and bones in the most perfect way.

Several middle-aged people wiped the grease and cumin seeds from the corners of their mouths:

“This tastes right.”

"It has to be sweeter, and then add some vinegar."

When it was Lao He's turn to speak, he acted like a master:
"It's really good."

The two old friends laughed and said, "Don't pretend, the ones baked in the store are better than yours."

"If you have this skill, you won't give up after only half a year."

After listening to this, Lao He sighed.

After a long time, he sighed:

"You said that when I was laid off, I felt like the sky was falling. Now, it seems like just a blink of an eye, I'm 50 years old, and I've made it through it."

The three of them raised their glasses.

"Hey, just live day by day."
