Episode 131. Fried Chicken

Ah! What an ecstatic sound.

Chicken pieces dressed in white starch began to dance in a huge pot of boiling oil.

“Mister, what kind of dish is this? Is this like sweet and sour pork?”

“Well, it’s similar. All the fries are there.”

“But it smells so delicious.”

“Unlike sweet and sour pork, I seasoned it enough. I used plenty of pepper. I also changed the ratio of the batter a bit. Maybe that’s why it smells better?”

“Really? Then, does it taste better than sweet and sour pork?”

“Well. Actually, it’s my first time making it, so I’m not sure. But, if it’s done properly… I’ll be surprised if I eat it?”

“Wow! I’m really looking forward to it!”

Melissa smiles brightly, her eyes twinkling.

‘I’m also looking forward to it.’

First fried chicken challenge.

It is questionable whether it will taste like it was delivered, but I also salted it with cashew salt and pepper, and even used milk in the dough.

So it won’t be very tasty.

What worries me a little is that I have been eating only rare grade high oak meat lately, so I wonder if the taste of regular grade chicken meat is bland.

‘What, is it a big difference?’

First of all, chicken and pork taste different.

Each charm is also different.

“Is it still?”

“Wait a little. It’s my first time doing it, so I might fail in the middle.”

“Mister? This isn’t even monster meat. He’s good at cooking, and he’s really good at it.”

“But I don’t know. Cooking for the first time is always difficult.”

Lemon’s gaze is fierce.

You know I’m lying and making fun of you again.

“It’s real!”

From noble mtl dot com

“I know. It’s real.”

“Then, can you relax your eyes?”

“My eyes are always like this!? Heung. I still believe in it. In the end, I will make the most delicious chicken.”

“What is it? Do you want to eat that much?”

“Of course! So let’s do it quickly.”

Uncharacteristic of a normal guy, he even makes a fuss.

Of course, I know why.

Melissa, who is full of anticipation, is also drooling, but there are people waiting for this dish to be completed as much as Lemon and I, who already know the taste of chicken, and the hairy older brother and his younger brother. Does not exist.

I don’t know how to put it this way, but I personally think that chicken is also one of the soul foods of Koreans.

“Shouldn’t the chicken be fried twice?”

“Is it really necessary?”

“Isn’t that the standard? It’s my first time frying myself, so I don’t know.”

“Do it yourself. You’re the cook.”

“Then let’s fry it twice. Fried chicken or whatever is delicious when it’s crispy. Especially, unlike sweet and sour pork, this chicken leg is too thick, so it’s safe to fry it twice to cook it all the way through.”

Chickens in this world are quite large.

Chicken legs are almost the size of turkey legs.

It may be because it is a wild chicken, but it may be because young chickens cannot be separately selected and slaughtered.

‘I left the sheath out enough, but it’s safe to fry it twice.’

Anyway, did you really want to try?

This situation is as if a group of hyenas starving for chicken are watching over me.

‘Honestly, I really wanted to eat too.’

Unfortunately, unlike salt and pepper, edibles were not on the list of cash items.

It was difficult to find the right oil for tempura, and I didn’t know the mixing ratio of the tempura batter, and for some reason, tempura seemed vaguely difficult, so I put it off and put it off.

The key was the success of making relatively simple nachos a while ago.

After that, I started trying to cook tempura in earnest.

The first was sweet and sour pork, and I gained confidence to challenge fried chicken today.

I really missed rice and bulgogi, but as a Korean, there are few dishes I miss as much as chicken.

‘But the chicken is really disappointing…’

Would you say that you are not satisfied with eating normal grade chicken after eating only rare grade meat?

There is nothing as honest as people’s taste, and in a world where there is no phone and no internet, you can never give up the pleasure of eating something more delicious.

‘Should I go hunting for a cockatrice when I have free time?’

I don’t know if the meat served to him will taste like chicken, but it’s worth the money anyway.

His meat seems too thick and tough to eat fried, but then you can cut it into pieces and make boneless chicken.

Of course, there are many bird monsters besides cockatrice.

Even if it’s not him, there must be a monster that tastes like chicken somewhere.

“Wow! Ah, that’s…”

“It’s dangerous to splatter if you’re that close. Stay away, Melissa.”

“Yes…”

“Stupid Melissa.”

“Noisy mumu!”

“Mumu!?”

I stared at Mumu’s face and clapped my hands.

“Why, why are you like that, mister?”

“Seeing Mumu reminded me of what I really need.”

“Are you looking at me?”

“Yes. Radishes are essential for chicken.”

“Radish? Me?”

“No, chicken radish.”

If it’s radish, there are many wonderful things in this world.

Making them is a breeze, as all you need to do is dice them, mix salt sugar, and then soak them in boiling water mixed with vinegar.

I have learned various cooking skills by making various dishes, and my chef level has steadily increased.

Now, these simple side dishes can be made with just a little bit of effort.

Tak- Tak-

I pounded the twice-fried chicken in a strainer to drain as much oil as possible, then put Sobok in the basket.

Since it was freshly fried, seaweed rose, and the savory oil aroma unique to tempura spread out in all directions.

[Succeeded in creating a new dish.]

“What? You succeeded without failure? Is it because you used regular chicken?”

“Ohhh!”

“Wow… That sounds delicious.”

“Melissa you idiot! Don’t drip!”

It wasn’t the perfect golden color I was expecting, and I was very disappointed in the detail on the surface of the fried dough, probably because I didn’t use the dedicated frying powder.

It was definitely different from the chicken I ate delivered.

‘It looks a bit like cheap chicken sold in a traditional market.’

However, market chicken cannot be ignored.

It may be different from time to time, but there are cases where this kind of chicken tastes better.

Besides, the chicken you haven’t seen in over 7 months is now in front of you.

For the guys who already have the impression that chicken is delicious, a slight difference in appearance didn’t matter much.

The fact that there was chicken in front of me and that I could sample it from now on was more important.

The group of hyanas, who were only looking for an opportunity, were about to rush at it like crazy.

‘Of course it will taste good, right?’

Unless the cooking failed in the first place, the taste was guaranteed to some extent.

“Hmm, nice scent.”

“Melissa. Stop sticking your face in because it’s disgusting. Go and sit down. Let’s all eat together.”

“Yes!”

Four of our existing members, including myself.

Rachel and Michael temporarily joined there.

Lastly, in addition to the hairy type and the 3rd party friends, Hana and Nadia were added.

A total of 14 people gathered on the first floor of Pixel’s hairy brother’s house and started the first fried chicken tasting party.

“Eh, is this chicken? What size chicken leg…”

“Because there is no such thing as No. 10 Or No. 11 Chicken here. It’s big, but I made sure it was cooked to the inside. You can eat it with confidence.”

“Mu, of course. Who made it…”

While one held up a large chicken leg in amazement, the others were already eating the chicken in their hands.

“Hmm… This is… Crazy… Totally crazy, Leader!”

“Hey, this is how long chicken has been. After all, Taemin’s younger brother is the only one.”

“It’s delicious. It’s very delicious.”

“Mister! But is this chicken? It’s the first time I’ve tasted it…”

“Mumu you fool! It’s a dish made by you, right? Ahh? That’s what I’m steaming for next time!”

“Where’s that? Eat whatever you have in your hand and talk about it, you idiot.”

In the noisy atmosphere, the number of chicken pieces piled up in a row was rapidly decreasing.

Everyone’s compliments continued, and the smiles on the oiled lips continued.

I was thrilled with the taste of chicken I hadn’t eaten in a while, but from my point of view, the fact that such an atmosphere was created with my own cooking was a pleasant thing in itself.

“I wish I had a Coke.”

“I like beer…”

One got a Coke, and the hairy brother got a beer.

Unfortunately, it is difficult to implement Coke.

“Beer is sold in a tavern. Shall we talk to a nearby tavern? No, Nadia-san knows that better than I do.”

“Eh? Beer? Shall we go and buy it now?”

“Okay. Beer in this world isn’t really my style, but you can’t go wrong with a drink at a party like this, right? And, above all, beer with chicken.”

I poked the side of the hairy boy who couldn’t read the mood.

“Billion.”

“But brother, don’t you like the juice I made?”

“Huh? Ah, no. The juice made by my younger sister can’t be tasteless…”

“By the way, what kind of alcohol are you looking for? In front of the kids.”

“Is that so…”

“If so, why don’t you stay and have a drink with me at night. Just like last time.”

“Really? Then I’m fine. Actually, the alcohol sold at the tavern was never to my taste.”

“Then let’s get together with the adults. This time we have new guests, and Nadia is welcome.”

“Me too?”

“Why, don’t you like it?”

Nadia looked at her hairy brother.

I stabbed him in the side again, only to get an answer that told me to take care of myself.

‘Anyway, even this hairy bastard doesn’t know how women feel.’

As usual, I fried close to ten large chickens, but before I knew it, every chicken in the basket was gone, leaving only chicken bones piled up.

There were a lot of people, but the taste was so good?

Everyone filled their stomachs with only chicken without any other dishes.

‘Not bad for a first chicken.’

Various ideas are already springing up.

First of all, soy sauce chicken that can be made with only existing ingredients.

And I plan to try seasoned chicken using oak chili obtained from the oak field.

‘Shall we try it right away as a snack for dinner?’

Since there is no red pepper paste, I will try to make it with a spicy kkanpunggi feel.

Ah! Before that, of course, there is work to be done.

Originally, I was going to do it while eating chicken, but I and other people were immersed in the chicken itself and ate it like crazy, so I couldn’t even take it out yet.

“Then let’s clean up first and check the items we picked up earlier.”

“Good!”

“What about Mr. Meat? There was also a very shiny meat.”

“Ah, think about it a bit. You can’t cook just about anything. Catching a world boss isn’t easy.”

“It must be very delicious, right? It must be very delicious, right?”

“You idiot! The man will take care of it, but what are you doing!”

“What? He said he would eat the most. Wipe the oil around his mouth. Mumu!”

The corners of the two girls’ mouths were still glistening with cooking oil and chicken grease.
