The method for making tea-smoked chicken with chestnuts

Weekend visits to my mother-in-law's place, where some chickens were being freely raised in a village home; I bought one.Purchased chestnuts, and tea water, with a subtle fragrance, tasted quite good.

Tea-flavored Braised Chicken recipe steps:

Rinse and peel the chestnuts, which were shelled by the seller.

Wash and cut the potato into chunks.

Cut the chicken into small pieces and wash them thoroughly.

Boil in a pot to remove impurities.

Clean and slice the chili peppers, prepare the green onions and ginger.

Heat the wok with cool oil and stir-fry the chicken.Add soy sauce for coloring. Stir-fry with ginger and green onion slices as well as star anise.

Add the chestnuts and potatoes, stir-frying them together.

Pour in red-braised juice and stir-fry.

Add tea water.

Simmer on medium heat.

Thicken the sauce when it's almost done by adding chili peppers and seasoning with salt before serving.

Tips:

Stir-fry the chicken for a longer time to enhance flavor, and I used green tea; alternatively, you can use Tieguanyin for richer fragrance.

Tips:

When stir-frying the chicken, fry it for a bit longer. I used green tea, but you can also use Tie Guan Yin; the tea aroma is strong.
