Farmhouse stewed chicken
This so-called "farmhouse" stewed chicken with Shandong flavor is actually a home-made dish. It is also called Shandong "spicy chicken" in some restaurants. It is not difficult to make. I didn't eat less when I was a child, but my mother's taste was light, and the cooking was not so spicy. Sometimes I even didn't put spicy at all, just fried and stewed. Now, if you want to do it yourself, the key is to find a real "native chicken".
Step 1 . Clean the chicken, wash the green pepper and set aside;

Step 2 . Rinse the scallions and ginger for standby, and wipe the dry red pepper for standby; Illicium verum, cinnamon and fragrant leaves for standby;

Step 3 . Chop the native chicken into large pieces about the size of walnuts;

Step 4 . Remove the seeds of green pepper and cut them into hob pieces for standby;

Step 5 . Chop onion and ginger into large pieces for standby;

Step 6 . Start a frying pan, heat the pan with cool oil, add about 1 tablespoon of cooking oil, add star anise, cinnamon, and fragrant leaves, and slowly stir fry until fragrant; (If you especially like spicy food, you can stir fry dry red chilli together.)

Step 7 . Add chicken pieces, stir fry them in medium high heat, and stir fry until the chicken is discolored, skin shrinks, and slightly charred;

Step 8 . Add a little cooking wine and continue to stir fry until the cooking wine is dry;

Step 9 . Add light soy sauce and dark soy sauce, stir well;

Step 10 . Add sweet sauce;

Step 11 . Continue to stir fry until the chicken is evenly colored;

Step 12 . Add onion, ginger and dry red pepper, continue to stir fry until the onion and ginger smell;

Step 13 . Add proper amount of boiled water, depending on the quality of the native chicken. If the chicken is older, add more water to stew for a long time, and avoid adding water in the middle; If the chicken is tender, or an ordinary meat chicken is used, add less water; Boil the fire and remove the foam;

Step 14 . Turn the pot cover to simmer for 1 to 2 hours. When the chicken is cooked and rotten, turn the heat to collect the juice;

Step 15 . When the juice is ready, add green pepper;

Step 16 . Stir fry until the green pepper is slightly softened, and then add a little salt to taste depending on the taste.
