Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of food processing, and in particular relates to a processing device and method for air-dried chicken. Background Art

[0002] The processing steps of air-dried chicken are as follows:

[0003] Processing chicken: After slaughtering the chicken, remove the internal organs, hair, etc., clean it, and tidy up the head, feet, wings and other parts of the chicken to keep the chicken in its complete shape;

[0004] Marinate the chicken: prepare a container, add salt, pepper, star anise, cinnamon, bay leaves, dried chili and other spices into the pot and stir-fry until fragrant, then let it cool, and evenly apply the fried spices to the inside and outside of the chicken, especially to the thicker parts. Put the seasoned chicken into the container, add appropriate amounts of white wine, light soy sauce, and dark soy sauce, and marinate for 24 to 48 hours. You can turn the chicken over several times during this period to make it marinated more evenly;

[0005] Air-drying chicken: Take out the marinated chicken and hang it with a rope or hook in a well-ventilated and dry place, avoid direct sunlight, and let the chicken air-dry in the natural environment. It usually takes about 7 to 10 days. However, because the air-drying time in the natural environment is longer, it is currently necessary to use an air-drying device to air-dry the marinated chicken;

[0006] However, when air-drying a chicken, the current air-drying device generally hangs the chicken head on a hook in the drying device, and then uses an external air supply device to perform a unidirectional air-drying operation on the chicken in the device. However, because the chicken is hung on the hook, the wings and legs of the chicken are not fixed, and the wings and legs will block the trunk of the chicken, affecting the air-drying effect of the chicken. In addition, during the air-drying process, the unidirectional air-drying operation will cause uneven drying of the trunk of the chicken, resulting in poor drying quality of the chicken. Therefore, a processing device and method for air-drying chicken are needed to solve the above problems. Summary of the invention
