My appetite deteriorates every summer, and the weather this summer seems to be hotter than usual. Children have poor appetites and don't like to eat, and adults are afraid of cooking. The kitchen is like a sauna, where one meal can make people sweat profusely. My son loves to eat meat the most, but now when I see stewed chicken legs, they don't taste good anymore... The three pipa legs left in the fridge, I used them to make this sour and spicy lemon hand torn chicken. After steaming the chicken legs in a steamer, people don't have to stare at the kitchen, and cooking becomes less troublesome. The chicken legs made in this way are sour and spicy, delicious, and refreshing to eat, so they are especially loved by family members!

Steps to make Sour and Spicy Lemon Hand Teared Chicken

1. First, deal with the chicken legs. Wash the three pipa legs repeatedly, add cooking wine and soy sauce, stir the shredded scallions and ginger evenly, and maintain their appearance for at least half an hour. Alternatively, they can be sealed in a fresh-keeping bag and marinated overnight.
2. Put the marinated chicken legs into a plate and place them in a steamer.
3. Select the "fast steaming" mode for the electric steamer and set the time to 20 minutes.
4. Adjust the sauce for steaming chicken legs by adding minced garlic, chili powder, and white sesame seeds to a bowl. Heat an appropriate amount of oil in the pot until smoking, pour it into the bowl to stimulate the aroma, and add an appropriate amount of soy sauce, oyster sauce, white vinegar, salt, and sugar. Mix well and set aside.
5. When the time is up, take out the steamed chicken legs and pour out the soup.
6. Prepare a basin of ice water in advance, soak the steamed chicken legs in the ice water while they are hot, take them out after they cool completely, tear off the meat and put them in the basin, add the prepared sauce, then add lemon slices and chopped cilantro, stir evenly.
7. A simple and delicious sour and spicy lemon hand pulled chicken is ready. If you don't have an appetite in summer, I strongly recommend this method. The sour and spicy flavor is satisfying and especially appetizing.
8. You have such an appetite that three chicken legs are not enough to eat. Hurry up and arrange it.
