What should I do with chicken offal?

Chicken offal generally refers to chicken heart, chicken intestine, chicken liver, chicken stomach (chicken gizzard) and chicken kidney! Chicken offal should be regarded as a very delicious food!

the first reason: most people think that chicken offal is dirty! Chicken offal is mainly the digestive organs of chickens, such as chicken gizzards and chicken intestines. Chicken liver and kidney are the metabolic detoxification organs of chickens, and people always unconsciously think, will there be harmful substances remaining in the metabolic process?

the second reason: fresh chicken offal is very difficult to handle, and most people find it troublesome! But now you can buy clean chicken offal directly in the market, but this kind of chicken offal is not fresh enough, so the taste and freshness are relatively much worse!

the third reason: the smell of chicken offal is very strong! Especially chicken intestines and chicken gizzards, if you don't pay attention, there will be dirt residue, and the smell of chicken offal itself is relatively heavy.

the fourth reason: chicken offal, after all, belongs to the internal organs of chickens and has a high cholesterol content! Try to avoid eating in large quantities for a long time, and eating occasionally has no adverse effects! Just pay attention to it.

how to deal with fresh chicken offal?

one: let's talk about the cleaning steps first! Take the freshly killed chicken and fresh internal organs as an example!

1: chicken kidney: clean it with clear water!

2: Chicken liver: Be careful! Carefully cut off the gall inside! Then clean the chicken liver!

PS: If the gall bladder is broken, it is suggested to discard the chicken liver directly!

3: chicken heart: just wash the blood!

4: Treatment of chicken gizzards (chicken stomach)!

①: use a knife to cut a hole in the side of the gizzard, and buckle all the chicken food in the gizzard and throw it away!

②: Clean all the dirt in the chicken gizzards with clean water!

③: buckle a layer of yellow inner wall inside the chicken gizzard and discard it by hand or knife. (It may also be white or black)

PS: In my hometown, the yellow layer on the inner wall of chicken gizzards is dried and ground to treat indigestion! I don't know if you have heard of it.

5: Chicken intestines should be the most troublesome to handle among all chicken offal! If it's in the family, I suggest you throw it away. It's too much trouble!

The processing method of chicken intestines is as follows:

①: Straighten the chicken intestines and lay them flat!

②: Take a chopstick, wrap the thin end of the chopstick with one end of the chicken intestine, and then push it into the chicken intestine, so that all the chicken food in the chicken intestine will be pushed out from the other end of the chicken intestine! (It's basically the same as the method of turning over the pig's large intestine)

③: When all the chicken food is pushed out, grasp the little chicken intestine wrapped with chopsticks by hand and pull it out by force, so that the chicken intestine is equivalent to turning out the inner wall.

④: Rub the chicken intestines with vinegar and flour until the mucus is completely washed.

⑤: just cut the chicken intestines with scissors.

PS: There is also a simple and quick way to treat chicken intestines!

Fresh chicken intestines are directly cut open with scissors, washed with water, and cleaned with vinegar and flour. The advantage of this method is high efficiency, but the disadvantage is that the dirt inside the chicken intestine is easy to get on it! Vendors in the general market use this cleaning method.

two: let's talk about the cutting method of chicken offal.

generally, our common way of eating chicken offal is to stir-fry it, but there are also people who make a dry pot or make minced meat. Here are some common ways to cut chicken offal.

1: chicken intestines are cut into 15cm segments.

2: chicken liver is cut into pieces about 3mm thick.

3: Chicken kidney is generally uncut, stewed or burned whole! However, chicken kidneys are rarely encountered. If there are any, they are kept separately, and then processed once they are accumulated.

4: Chicken hearts are generally cut in half, then flattened with a knife, and cut into pieces about 2-3mm thick with a knife.

5: Before cutting chicken gizzards, the white fascia on the surface should be removed with a knife, and then cut into 2mm thick pieces.

PS: Another way to cut chicken gizzards is to cut them into flowers! According to the following steps

①: a complete chicken gizzard is cut from the joint and divided into two semi-elliptical stone shapes.

②: Then divide half of the chicken gizzards into two equal halves vertically from the middle.

③: After that, press the back of the gizzard on the cutting board, and cut it obliquely with a straight knife. The distance between the knives is about 2mm, and the depth is 4/5. Do not cut it to the bottom!

④: Then change the chicken gizzard in a different direction, cross it with the knife cut for the first time, and cut it obliquely with a straight knife again, with the same thickness and depth as the first time.

⑤: finally, gently press the cut chicken gizzard with your hand to make it into a flower.
