Glutinous rice chicken

The well-known glutinous rice chicken belongs to the Cantonese lotus leaf glutinous rice chicken, in addition, Jiangxi people also regard glutinous rice chicken as their hometown dish, and there is also a place for glutinous rice chicken in Malaysia's special snacks. Although they have their own characteristics, what they have in common is that these glutinous rice chickens contain chicken ingredients. Wuhan glutinous rice chicken is different, like "bean skin" and "noodle nest", it is also a snack that is easy to make people "look at the meaning of the text".

Wuhan glutinous rice chicken is a fried snack, which mixes steamed glutinous rice with diced mushrooms, diced pork belly, bamboo shoots, etc., kneaded into a ball, and finally wrapped in a coat and fried in a pot until golden brown. The ingredients used above have nothing to do with chicken, so the name is inevitably confusing. The explanation given by Wuhan people is that because the fried skin is uneven, like fried chicken nuggets, it is called "glutinous rice chicken". In addition, in the seasoning of Wuhan glutinous rice chicken, pepper will still not be absent, and the spicy flavor of pepper runs throughout, especially when it is just out of the pot, the entrance is hot and spicy, which makes local fans love it.
