Summer Steamed Chicken Legs for Fat Loss — Quick & No-Stove-Needed
Ingredients
- 2 chicken legs (any kind works)
- 6-8 scallion segments
- 6-8 ginger slices
- 2 salt
- 1 small handful dried Sichuan peppercorns
Instructions
- Score the chicken legs with a knife for better flavor absorption. Cut scallions into segments, slice ginger, and prepare salt and Sichuan peppercorns.
- Heat a dry pan without oil, add salt and Sichuan peppercorns, and toast over low heat until the salt turns slightly golden. Remove from heat.
- Pour the toasted Sichuan salt over the chicken legs and rub evenly on both sides. Cover with plastic wrap and marinate for 1 hour.
- Rinse the marinated chicken legs under running water to remove the salt and peppercorns. Place scallion and ginger slices on a plate, then set the chicken legs on top.
- Steam in a steamer at 100°C for 25 minutes, then it is ready to eat! (For smaller chicken legs, reduce time by 5 minutes. You can also use a gas stove: bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to low, cover, and steam for 20 minutes.)
- Delicious and guilt-free!
