The 'most misunderstood' kind of meat is more nutritious than beef, only 5 yuan per pound, but no one wants it!

I often see many people eating duck heads, duck necks, duck feet, chicken legs, chicken feet, etc., but I rarely see people eating chicken necks.

Why is this?

Isn't chicken neck delicious?

I analyzed it carefully. In fact, people do not eat chicken neck for the following two reasons.

A chicken neck is dirty

One of the most commonly heard sayings is that there are many lymph nodes on the neck of chickens, bacteria, viruses, etc. will be concentrated in the neck, and people will easily affect their health after eating.

Moreover, when injecting chickens, they are all shot at the neck of the chicken, and there will be drug residues, so try not to eat them.

Two chicken necks are very short

Chicken necks are indeed much shorter than duck necks. The length of a duck neck is about twice that of a chicken neck. Therefore, many people always feel that it is not as affordable as duck neck.

In fact, what I want to say is that many people have "the deepest misunderstanding" of chicken neck.

The reason why many people don't like chicken neck is because they have not really understood and studied chicken neck.

What is called the lymph node on the neck of the chicken is actually not the lymph, but the thymus of the chicken.

The thymus is not immune, so there is no bacterial virus.

Moreover, the current cooking practice is to remove the chicken skin before eating the chicken neck, which will not affect the taste.

There's also the issue of needles. Now the injections for chickens are injected on the chicken, which will be absorbed by the chicken soon, and there will be no drug residues.

Compared with duck necks, chicken necks are shorter, but you have to think about them. When you buy them, they are not sold individually, but are weighed by kilograms, so there is no need to care about the length.

Besides, the price of chicken neck is very cheap, only 5 yuan a pound, which is much cheaper than duck neck, very affordable.

The meat of chicken neck is very tender, tastes very good, and has low oil content and high nutritional value.

It is rich in protein, vitamins and other nutrients, even higher than the nutritional value of beef.

Think about it, how much is a pound of beef? How much is a pound of chicken neck?

As ordinary people, we should eat something good and cheap.

To sum up, chicken neck is definitely a kind of food that is very suitable for our people, cheap and delicious.

Below I will teach you how to make chicken necks. Usually, you can buy some and cook them at home, which is very convenient.

【Braised Chicken Neck】

practice:

The first step is to soak the chicken neck in water for 20 minutes, and then rinse it with water.

If you don't like chicken skin, you can remove the chicken skin and then marinate it.

The second step, add water to the pot, put the chicken neck in, boil it and blanch it, then remove it and rinse it with water.

The third step, add water to the pot, add 5 star anise, 1 cinnamon, 5 bay leaves, 2 nutmeg, 50 peppercorns, 50 dried peppers, 5 ginger slices, and 1 packet of fennel cloves.

Then add light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, salt, cooking wine, bring to a boil, turn to low heat and simmer slowly.

The fourth step is to count from the start of the pot, simmer on low heat for about 30 minutes, add a little chicken essence, remove it and let it cool.

【Technical points】

1 The chicken neck must be bought fresh, bright in color and not stained.

2 When boiling water, skim off the foam, which are impurities.

3 Don't rush to eat after taking it out, the fragrance will be better after it cools down.
