Secret Xinjiang chicken (with trouser belt noodles)

Secret Xinjiang chicken (with trouser belt noodles)

Overview

It hasn’t been updated in a year, so this time it’s a tough one. A dish that is purely discovered by oneself can be considered an achievement. . . Whether Xinjiang Da Plate Chicken is authentic or not lies not in the cooking method, but in the chicken. The meat today simply cannot taste like the meat eaten in Shawan back then. Ps: The three-yellow chicken in the supermarket is really unpalatable, so I used chicken breast and wing root instead. For students who can buy good chicken, it is better to use whole chicken. Also, let me emphasize that it seems like there are many steps, but it is not complicated. It is just for the sake of detail, so it seems a bit difficult. . .
