Chicken dishes occupy a particularly important place in the Vietnamese tray. And also it can transform that tray into a luxurious tray, or make a simple daily meal attractive.
Indispensable dish During the pandemic influenza A crisis, eating and selling poultry has been almost restricted. Any house with a deck at that time was quite difficult because I had to think about how to replace chicken with other dishes. At that time, boiled chicken – a dish of indestructible reputation – was replaced with all kinds of seafood, lobster, crab, squid … However, its “shadow” was too big, almost impossible to fill. . That emptiness was later posted by comedians Tu Long and Xuan Bac happily, “Meeting at the end of the year”: “A good meal must have chicken / Men must have a woman to be happy.” Boiled chicken is the first must-mention dish. The house has an unexpected guest that must buy a chicken to treat. Children from far away visit their hometown, parents go to the garden to catch chickens for meat. Can’t think of anything to eat, bring the chicken to the market to boil, and cook the vermicelli is done. It is a dish that simply says it is very simple, but complex is also super technical, super … confusing. Cutting chicken blood requires a pot of boiling water available next to it to make feathers. Chicken feathers are easier to handle than duck and goose feathers. After that, anyone who knew how to perform surgery would open it up, otherwise they would open it up. Chicken making is generally not for fumblers. If you know what to do, then it’s done, if you are clumsy, then half a day is still… very messy. Now convenient, to the market everything from blood cutting, hair removal, pecking according to buyers, to cleaning of the gizzard is also available. Even so, if the chicken is hired, the chicken can still be close to the salt, just about cooking. In the city there is no captive place, so “catastrophic” especially relatives in the countryside come to play and carry chickens. Locking on the balcony is also not possible, but locking in the bathroom is not done. As a result, the meat can be eaten, even if it can’t be brought to the market, rented for slaughter, and then refrigerated. 
It’s easy to boil the chicken, that is to say, just pour the boiled water until the chicken is cooked, why not? Are not! No. of course! Mothers in the old days often “scrutinize” their future daughters-in-law by boiling chickens. Chicken is boiled but the skin should be intact and golden in color. So just a little hard boiled, the skin will be broken, but if the heat is low, the meat will still be red inside. Therefore, the good reputation is far and away, in Hanoi there are rows of boiled chicken “indescribably delicious”. In addition to choosing authentic hill chickens, these owners have the secret of boiling crispy chicken with a reputation. That’s why, every profession has Poinsettia that’s why.

Creativity of cuisine If you don’t like boiled chicken, what else is there? Ginger roasted chicken is a familiar dish of the North people. Chopped chicken, fish sauce, salt, and pepper, put on the island to hunt. If you want tender meat, add a little bit of water to simmer, beat a piece of ginger and add it to be very fragrant. Also at home, in addition to ginger, the addition of dried onions also makes the dish more fragrant. The memories of the 7x, 8x generation in Hanoi are closely related to the fried chicken dish. Back then, many families raised chickens. Whenever I saw the chicken nodding and nodding, the whole family agreed to “be ruffled” and pulled it out to meat. Making this “clinical diagnosis” needs to be quick and decisive, otherwise the chicken will become … a big chicken. The fried chickens are rarely boiled because if they are boiled, of course they will not be delicious. Only roasted turmeric, or even turmeric with ginger, it was both fragrant and drowned out the scent of chicken. In general, when the chicken is ruffled, it is still golden and fragrant. The children back then often wished: “If only the chickens cut out a few to eat meat.” Now, life is more complete, seeing chicken is afraid, careful not to return H5N1, H1N1 does not know.

Chicken cut to taste, seasoned with fish sauce, salt, main noodles, pepper and crushed lemongrass. If you want a beautiful and eye-catching dish, you need a big pumpkin, cut off the stem and then empty the inside, drop the chicken inside the pumpkin and cover it, put it in a steam bath (to make this dish, the house must have big seats, because the pumpkin is already big.) Just steaming for an hour, the pumpkin is cooked, the chicken inside is also cooked, the chicken produces water by itself without adding anything. This dish is very nutritious, suitable for families with children and people in need of fostering health.
