Tomorrow is the new year, and it is also the time for families to "kill chickens and sheep", and chicken is a main dish that often appears on our table.
Friends who have chickens at home are probably ready to start killing chickens.
Nowadays, young people rarely kill chickens by themselves, and it is estimated that they have rarely seen others kill chickens.
But friends who have had the experience of killing chickens should have the impression that when killing chickens, there is a piece of butter in the belly of the chicken.
We often throw away this piece of yellow oil when we kill chickens, but we don't know that this little butter is a treasure!
Under normal circumstances, when you kill chickens, you will choose to dispose of all the things in your stomach, especially when you buy them in the market, most of them are handled by people, not to mention other things, even chicken livers are not wanted.
The ** of the chicken itself is not expensive, most of the people who eat chicken eat chicken, and most people are unacceptable to the chicken offal, so they ignore the "chicken butter" in the chicken belly.
The so-called "chicken butter" is the fat of the chicken.
Although we basically don't eat fat when we eat chicken,However, it does not mean that even if there is no fat, the fat of the chicken is accumulated in the stomach compared to pork, which is what we call "chicken butter".
Because the ones bought are all processed, this "chicken butter" is also directly disposed of, and most people don't actually have the opportunity to get in touch with it.
Don't look at "chicken butter" as chicken fat, but compared to "pork fat", "chicken butter" is still very nutritious.
Unlike regular fats, "chicken butter" is higher quality and more nutritious than the fats we usually see.
Chicken itself is the favorite of people in the fat loss period, and with this "chicken butter", it can be said that "with a chicken in hand, everything is fine".
In addition, "chicken butter" can be used not only for stewing soup and making chicken, but also for stir-frying if you know how to handle it yourself.
Compared with vegetable oil and lard, the vegetables fried in "chicken butter" have the aroma of animal fat, but are not too greasy, and are more suitable for supplementing nutrition for the family.
It is worth mentioning that even if you buy live chickens and handle them yourself, it is difficult to buy "chicken butter".
Although "chicken butter" is the fat that chickens accumulate in their bodies as they growHowever, most of the chickens on the farm are not produced with "chicken butter".
One is that the most important thing for chickens raised on the farm is to increase production, and the feeding is also based on feed, and there are usually no opportunities for exercise.
In order to increase production, most farms not only do not give them exercise, but also add some substances to increase their size, so that they can raise chickens that can be bought in a short time.
It's just that such chickens look slightly larger and have plump meat, but in fact, due to lack of exercise, the meat is loose and not chewy, not to mention "chicken butter".
If you really want to eat "chicken butter", you have to buy "free-range chicken".
Generally, free-range chickens are raised by farmers themselves, and most of them eat grains and coarse grains.
This kind of local chicken not only has good meat quality, but also has a rich "chicken butter" in the body, which is very delicious whether it is used for stewing soup or cooking.
This is why everyone likes to go to the farmhouse to buy local chickens to eatIt's not just about the environment and atmosphere, but the most important thing is that the local chicken tastes good.
However, it should be noted that many unscrupulous merchants will use feed chickens instead of local chickens to sell, and learn to distinguish when buying.
We talked about "chicken butter" above, and many people will definitely want to ask, what are the popular "lanterns" and "chicken treasures" on the Internet, and do they also belong to "chicken butter"?
Strictly speaking, there are similarities between "lanterns" and "chicken treasures".
"Lantern" refers to a combination of chicken ovaries and unhatched eggs to form a food, because it looks like a chandelier on the outside.
It has both the aroma of eggs and the texture of chicken, and it is one of the favorite foods of many barbecue people.
The chicken treasure is the egg cell of the hen that has lesions during the laying of eggs, which is not considered the yolk, but its basic composition is similar to the yolk, which is similar to the "lantern".
The biggest difference between the two is that chicken treasures can be met but not soughtBecause it cannot be cultivated artificially, it is very rare and very expensive in terms of **.
The ** of "Ji Bao" is not calculated according to catties, but according to grams, and it is rumored that the ** of one gram ranges from 70,000 to 350,000, and there are even people who are willing to shoot higher**.
Compared with the previous two, although "chicken butter" is said to be rich in nutrients, no one will buy it alone, and "chicken butter" is essentially chicken fat, which is still fundamentally different from the above two foods.
The main thing is that "chicken butter" is nutritious and deliciousBut modern people basically don't spend that effort to raise chickens and then kill them themselves.
Rather than spending so much effort to taste the "chicken butter" in the chicken belly, most people still prefer to replace it with some other foods, and they really want to eat something that can be solved by going to the farmhouse yard, and there is really no need to be so troublesome.
Although it is said that it is troublesome to eat, for those who really love food, they will still choose to try it for themselves.
One more thing to say hereFeed chickens are not without fat, but there is no "chicken butter", the fat of feed chickens is the same as that of pigs, and the taste is naturally not as good as "chicken butter", and generally there will be no merchants to sell.
The "chicken butter" in the local chicken can be used to boil soup. In addition to stewed chicken, it can also be used to refine oil residue like pork.
The oil residue can be kept for stir-frying, even if there is no chicken, you can eat the taste of chicken, as for the chicken fat after condensation, you can put some sugar and use it to wrap meatballs to eat, so eat it separately, you can eat a few more meals, and you can unlock a lot of fresh practices.
I love chicken, and I have seen a few scenes of killing chickens.
When I saw the piece of butter, I felt greasy, and I felt that this chicken was lazy and didn't exercise much, and there was such a big piece of fat accumulated in the body.
At that time, I still felt that the quality of this chicken was not very good, and I foolishly hoped that when I would eat the chicken again in the future, it would be better to be a chicken without this butter.
Looking at it now, the idea at that time was really superficial.
From a practical point of view,Everyone is indeed not lacking in the nutrition of "chicken butter" now, but the pursuit of food has never changed.
Since there is such a delicious thing, no matter how long it takes, it will be worth it as long as you can eat it at the end!
