【Sichuan】Wine Pepper Chicken

Overview

The rattan pepper chicken is fresh yet overbearing. Spicy and slightly fragrant. Let you eat a piece and never forget it. Vine pepper has a very high nutritional value. Vine pepper is also known as oil pepper, fragrant pepper, bamboo leaf pepper, referred to as bamboo leaf pepper, also called wild pepper and mountain pepper. Vine pepper is an evergreen grass plant with a unique aroma and taste. It belongs to the Rutaceae family and is an important oil and spice tree species. It is three to nine feet tall. The trees are dark gray, mostly thorny, hairless, with single compound leaves clustered in clusters. The flowers are small and numerous. The fruit oil is mostly shiny, and its flavor is fragrant and volatile. The taste is fragrant and numb, aromatic but slightly numb. Vine pepper also has anti-fatigue, anti-hypoxia, anti-asthmatic, antioxidant, and analgesic effects. Vine pepper oil can inhibit the contraction of tracheal smooth muscles and has a certain antiasthmatic effect. The total alkaloids of wild prickly ash can inhibit the decrease of cortical dynorphin after acute cerebral ischemia injury in rats, and have a certain protective effect on brain cell function. Research shows that Zanthoxylum bungeanum also has anti-hypoxia and anti-fatigue effects. Vine pepper seeds are a by-product of Vine pepper seasoning, and their content accounts for about half of Vine pepper. Pepper seeds contain a hard shell with a layer of oil on the surface, which is called skin oil; the shell contains kernels, and the kernels also contain oil, which is called kernel oil. I especially like to eat cold dishes in the summer. Once I bought a piece of rattan pepper chicken and brought it home. My family said it was not delicious at all and the soup was watery and tasteless at all. I never bought it again. Later, my colleague came back from a business trip in Leshan and brought back a local authentic rattan pepper chicken. I tasted one piece and it was very delicious. It tasted very authentic and delicious. After eating one piece, I wanted to eat a second piece. Chicken is indispensable on every household's dining table during the Chinese New Year. Every year, the chicken on the dining table is served cold with red oil and chili. This time I suddenly thought of the vine pepper chicken I had eaten before, so I made such an authentic and special vine pepper chicken on the New Year’s Eve dinner table.
