Stewing chicken wings in a clay pot is a very delicious cooking method, because when cooked in a clay pot, the soup will be even more delicious. And adding appropriate health care ingredients can also be very beneficial to our body’s nutritional supplement. The following will introduce its method.

One, Materials:

One whole chicken (free-range chicken, black chicken, or three yellow chickens can be used, or half a black chicken and half a free-range chicken can be used together to boil, which is also very good; free-range chicken and black chicken take a little longer to boil the soup, about 2 hours, while using three yellow chickens is much more convenient~, or just the chicken legs are also okay.) 15 dried mushrooms, 5-6 red dates, 10 goji berries, 2-3 ginger slices, a little salt, soy sauce, cooking wine, scallions, and dry starch.

Two, Method:

1. The whole chicken bought is already cleaned of internal organs. After washing it clean, cut off the head and tail of the chicken. There are also two thick fat slices inside the tail, which should also be removed. The lymph nodes on the chicken neck should also be removed. Marinate the chicken with dry starch, soy sauce, cooking wine, and oil for 5-10 minutes; soak mushrooms in water until they swell, wash them clean, cut them in half or into quarters, drain the cleaner part of the mushroom water for later use, wash the red dates and goji berries clean, and soak them in warm water for a while for later use.

1. Place the stir-frying pot with the bottom oil (at the same time, place another clay pot, add clear water, mushroom water, cooking wine, soy sauce, red dates, and goji berries, and bring to a boil), heat the oil, then add scallions, ginger slices, chicken pieces, and stir-fry until they change color. Put the chicken pieces into the clay pot, bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to simmer for 40 minutes. After that, add mushrooms and continue to simmer for another 20 minutes, then season with salt to taste and remove from heat. (For free-range chicken or black chicken, simmer over low heat for 1.5 hours before adding mushrooms and then continue to simmer for another 20 minutes.)

Three, Nutrition

This soup can nourish Qi and blood, improve the complexion, and enhance immunity. Mushrooms can enhance the immune function of the human body and have anti-cancer effects. Boiling chicken soup with mushrooms allows the effective components of mushrooms to dissolve in the soup, improving the body’s absorption rate; the chicken soup itself also has the function of enhancing the immunity of the respiratory system, which can be said to be a combination of dual effects. The chicken cooked in a clay pot tastes even better, as the chicken itself is very fresh and does not require the addition of monosodium glutamate.
