客家鹽焗雞 材料: 雞 1隻 (約3斤) 粗鹽 3斤 紗紙 1張 鍚紙 1張
做法: 1. 雞洗淨抹乾,吊起風乾至越乾越好。 2. 將兩隻雞腳從尾部插入肚內,用紗紙包好,以牙籤穿過雞頸及雞尾固定位置,以防紗紙散開。 3. 錫紙裁至較所用的煲為大,鋪於底部。 4. 鑊燒熱,放入粗鹽至黃色。將約1/3粗鹽平均鋪於煲底,放入煲雞隻,將餘下的粗鹽鋪面。蓋煲以慢火焗6分鐘,將雞雙反轉,再焗6分鐘,最後熄焗12分鐘即成。
心得: 1. 用瓦煲效果比較好,因焗的過程會令雞隻的皮變脆,而且可以不用錫紙鋪底。 2. 如雞的重量在2斤左右,焗10分鐘已足夠。鹽的分量亦應與雞隻相等。

盐焗鸡是广东东江的传统名菜,亦为粤菜中之珍品。此菜制作选料上乘,系采用广东特产三黄(黄毛、黄脚、黄嘴)鸡为主料,以传统盐焗鸡法烹制,成菜色泽金黄,皮脆肉鲜,骨肉甘香,风味诱人。
首创于东江的盐焗鸡,追根溯源,它是由盐腌鸡演变而来。相传,此品起源于距今300年前东江海边的盐场。初时,是把熟光鸡用纱纸包好放入生盐堆里腌储,经腌过的鸡肉,虽鲜味稍减,但其肉质浓香,十分可口,烹食别饶风味。后传至东江首府惠州,人们为了方便而改用炒至高热的盐将鸡焖熟。经这一改,却恰到好处,它使其鸡不仅保持香厚,而且鲜美嫩滑。从此,盐焗鸡传遍官府和民间,成为筵席饮宴上的佳肴。
盐焗鸡在东江普及之后,又经历名厨高手创新改进,逐步形成一套完整的烹制技术,更臻善美。而今此品既是色、香、味、形俱佳的席上珍品,又具有食疗医治某些疾病的作用,能补脑、壮腰、益肾、安神。当地酒楼、饭店都经营有此美肴,并极受外宾、华侨、港澳同胞的喜爱,常慕名而来,一尝为快。 http://www.ajiadi.com/fleshpot/delicious/20010913/182055.htm
