When you kill a chicken, a piece of "butter" in your stomach is often thrown away, but I didn't know it was a treasure and I gained knowledge.
When killing chickens, we may find that some chickens have butter in their stomachs and some don't. This makes one wonder. After all, it's all chickens. Why is there such a difference?
A few years ago, in order to pursue the butter in their stomachs, people in the city went to the countryside to buy local chickens. Because butter is rich in protein, lecithin and a variety of vitamins, it can supplement various nutrients needed by the body after consumption.
So, how is the butter in the belly of a chicken formed?
If you live in the countryside, you will find that when you kill chickens at home during the Spring Festival, you will always turn out a big bowl of butter from the chicken's belly, and even some chickens have butter in their intestines.
However, not every chicken will have butter in its belly. In general, butter is more likely to appear on domestic chickens. Only chickens that grow up eating high-fat, coloring-rich foods will have butter accumulation in their bodies.
Chickens from those farms can be slaughtered in just a month. They usually eat a high-protein and low-fat diet, and only grow meat and not fat. This kind of chicken does not taste good, it is not fragrant at all, and naturally it does not form butter.
At the same time, the butter in the belly of the chicken is directly proportional to the color of the chicken skin. Generally speaking, chickens with butter in their stomachs will be more yellow in color, and the more butter, the darker the color.
Chicken fat is rich in nutrients such as vitamin C, vitamin E, and high protein. Especially in winter, eating some butter can provide calories to the body, which can relieve menstrual cramps for women.
So, how should the butter in the belly of the chicken be eaten?
First of all, you can make soup with chicken fat. Soups made with chicken fat are better than soups made with pork ribs. Many times when you need to supplement nutrition, such as giving birth, getting sick or during the development of a child, people will choose to make soup with chicken fat without adding too much seasoning, just a little salt.
Chicken fat is rich in nutrients such as high protein, high vitamins, and high calcium, making it more delicious and delicious than lard.
Secondly, you can boil the oil with chicken fat. Cut the chicken fat into small pieces as if it were boiling lard, put it in a pan and stir-fry to squeeze the chicken fat out.
Chicken fat can be used not only for stir-frying, but also for cooking noodles. Especially when stir-frying, adding an appropriate amount of chicken fat can add more deliciousness.
Finally, chicken fat can be used to make Sichuan cuisine. Many people feel that cooking Sichuan food at home does not taste authentic. This is because most authentic Sichuan dishes are cooked with chicken fat, while we usually use lard or vegetable oil, so the taste is definitely not as good as the authentic ones.
In conclusion, butter in the belly of the chicken is useful. Don't waste it next time. Take it home and make good use of it. However, people with high blood lipids should eat less chicken fat, and too much intake will cause harm to the body.
