Chapter 307 Fried Chicken Wings
"So delicious! This dragon and phoenix chicken wings is so delicious!"
The three heroes were busy praising him.
Apart from delicious, he couldn't think of any other adjectives.
When he tasted the stewed eight delicacies before, he was still able to calmly explain the subtleties of the dish one by one.
But at this moment, his mind seemed to have become a mess, as if even his brain had surrendered to this deliciousness and was unwilling to work.
Therefore, apart from "delicious" and "yummy", the brain did not convey any other information to him.
The fact that diners can forget everything and immerse themselves in the enjoyment of delicious food shows that this dish is very successful.
Chef Tang was very satisfied and said with a smile: "Xu Qing, I'm afraid you will lose this time."
Xu Qing did not say anything, but picked up a piece of dragon and phoenix chicken wing and put it in his mouth to taste it carefully.
After a while, he put down his chopsticks and said, "Chef Tang, there's no need to jump to conclusions. The winner is still unknown."
Chef Tang raised his eyebrows and said, "Why, do you think that fried chicken wings can beat my improved dragon and phoenix chicken wings? I was careless before and didn't integrate these three different flavors together. But now, this dish has a core, a 'monarch' that can unite everything, which makes this dish more delicious. Two dishes with the same 'monarch' are standing at the same starting point. If we want to determine the winner, we can only compete in terms of material selection, cooking method, seasoning, appearance, and chef's skills."
"For my Dragon and Phoenix Chicken Wings, I chose chicken, pork, and shrimp. I selected the best quality ingredients for the dish. Regardless of the quality, they contain the deliciousness of land and sea. The collision of different tastes is definitely more gorgeous and wonderful than simply fried chicken wings."
"In terms of cooking methods, although both are fried, I improved the original frying method for the dragon and phoenix chicken wings, so that the three ingredients are cooked harmoniously. And my dish uses the taste of spices as the main flavor, so the taste presented will be richer and more subtle. Not to mention the appearance, even a three-year-old child can tell which dish is more tempting. I have the advantage in all aspects, how could I lose?"
Xu Qing nodded and said, "Chef Tang is right. Based on these alone, there is really no reason for this dragon and phoenix chicken wings to lose. However, winning or losing is not determined by our words, but by our taste buds."
Seeing that Xu Qing was still very confident, Chef Tang's confidence seemed to have slipped away a little, and he couldn't help but doubt himself.
Could it be that this dragon and phoenix chicken wings has a weakness that he hasn’t noticed?
Xu Qing said: "Three heroes, you can taste the next dish."
"Yes."
The three heroes picked up their chopsticks and reached for the ordinary fried chicken wings.
Sanjie felt very relaxed at the moment. He had the same idea as Chef Tang. No matter how he thought about it, the dragon and phoenix chicken wings carefully cooked by his father were definitely better than fried chicken wings.
Fried chicken wings are a dish that every household makes. It is so common that it cannot be more common.
However, common dishes naturally have disadvantages in the minds of diners.
Because diners have never tasted novel dishes, they will not have preconceived ideas, and their taste buds are like a blank sheet of paper, allowing the taste of the dishes to paint on them. The happiness and satisfaction that diners get is also the most direct and clear.
As for common dishes, every time diners eat them, it is like drawing on a blank sheet of paper. The taste of the dishes has been depicted thousands of times on the taste buds, and diners have enough understanding and psychological preparation for them, so they will look down on them in advance. Therefore, well-cooked dishes are just average, and average-cooked dishes are bad.
A taste that has been described thousands of times cannot defeat a novel taste and leave a distinct impression on the taste buds, unless the novel taste itself has flaws.
But now that the dish’s flaws have been made up, how can it win?
Sanjie didn't think so much about it. He just made intuitive judgments based on his psychological feelings.
This fried chicken wing can't win no matter how you think about it! Therefore, Tang Sanjie happily put the fried chicken wings into his mouth and tasted it with confidence.
At least he didn't have to worry about his father getting angry and spanking him after losing.
But after he bit down on the fried chicken wing, this thought was instantly forgotten by him.
tasty!
How come these fried chicken wings are so delicious!
As soon as you bite into this crispy crust, it feels like countless tiny bubbles burst at the tip of your teeth. It has the aroma of oil, but the taste is extremely refreshing, leaving no greasy feeling on your taste buds. The more you chew it, the crispier it becomes. This crispy, fragrant and refreshing taste brings an indescribable pleasure to the tip of your tongue and teeth, making you unable to stop.
Pierce through the crispy outer layer to reveal the tender chicken inside.
The chicken is also marinated, but unlike the unique and mysterious spice flavor of the Dragon Phoenix Chicken Wings, the marinade is perfectly blended with the chicken itself. This perfect blend is like the flavor that comes naturally from the chicken, as if the chicken has absorbed this flavor as it grows. This flavor is released from the inside out, from every fiber of the chicken, and even from every drop of gravy.
It is not unique or mysterious; it is a part of the chicken, and the chicken is not truly complete until it has it.
With this taste, Sanjie realized that the fried chicken wings he had eaten before were not complete. It was like seeing the waning moon in the sky. Although it is still a moon, only when the full moon appears can you truly see the complete beauty of the moon.
The taste that he had described countless times on his taste buds was originally like a large army that had gathered together to block all outsiders. But at this moment, these countless armies were single-handedly rushed over by this wonderful taste and were defeated.
This extremely distinctive flavor leaves its own mark on your taste buds.
Such a wonderful taste, is this really fried chicken wings?
Yes. Only it can truly interpret the deliciousness of fried chicken wings.
Only it deserves the name of fried chicken wings.
The rest of the homemade fried chicken wings are just inferior imitations of it and don’t even deserve to be called by the same name.
The expressions of surprise and enjoyment on the three heroes' faces were even stronger than when they tasted the Dragon and Phoenix chicken wings.
He seemed to have forgotten everything in the world, completely immersed in the deliciousness of the fried chicken wings, feeling a completeness he had never felt before.
There was no need to say anything. Just by looking at the expressions of the three heroes, Chef Tang knew that he had lost again.
But how is this possible?
This shouldn't be!
Chef Tang subconsciously picked up a piece of fried chicken wing and put it into his mouth, wanting to see where he had lost.
Suddenly, his eyes widened and he looked at the fried chicken wings in his hand with disbelief.
How come fried chicken wings taste so delicious?
This delicious taste shattered his impression of fried chicken wings, and then reshaped it, making it the only flavor that could fully interpret fried chicken wings.
This delicacy cannot be this good even if made by the mysterious man himself.
Because in his impression, the fried chicken wings made by the mysterious man seemed like an incomplete version of this delicious dish, and it was difficult to fully interpret the delicious taste of fried chicken wings.
