Braised chicken with chestnuts

Introduction:

"This year, there are a lot of chestnut and oil chestnut in the north, with many varieties and low prices. The fresh chestnuts are produced in Huairou in Beijing, and the quality is the best. Unfortunately, the market can't buy fresh chestnuts. It takes more than an hour to drive to Huairou. Today, I bought some big fresh chestnuts in the supermarket. Although the taste of chestnuts is not as good as that of oil chestnuts, they are big and taste good. The disadvantage is that they are not easy to peel! After I bought it, I cooked it and peeled it for half an hour. First, I used my fingers to pick my nails. Then I used a knife to peel and scrape them. Finally, I finished. Who has a quick way to peel chestnuts? You may as well give me some guidance. Thank you! The color of cooked chestnuts is not good-looking. It seems that some of the chestnuts are black, but it does not affect the taste and taste. The color of fried or peeled chestnuts is golden and beautiful, but raw chestnuts are not easy to peel! Today, we make a dish with chestnuts, which is called "stewed chicken with chestnuts". This dish belongs to the traditional Beijing cuisine. In the past, only sugar color and soy sauce were used to make this dish. Today, I don't use sugar color. Some oyster sauce in it tastes more delicious. The practice is as follows; "

You can use chicken legs, which will be more convenient. 3. When making "stewed chestnut chicken", we must fry it to a scorched yellow and then start to stew it. That way, it will taste delicious. When frying, wrap some dry starch to prevent oil explosion and not easy to hurt people. The oil should be put properly and not too much. After frying, it can be stewed directly without decanting oil, which is more convenient.
