An extremely simple appetizer - shredded salted chicken thighs

In the past, there was a dish of shredded salted chicken in the butterfly garden of Xintiandi, which was very delicious, the salted chicken was torn into strips, and the surface was covered with golden and crispy chicken skin, and the chicken was slightly salty and the meat was firm. After a long time, I thought about it and drooled, so I tried to do it myself, considering that there were few people in the family, I used chicken thighs instead of whole chicken.

  2. Put the salt in the pot, stir-fry over medium-high heat, put in a little peppercorns, so that the taste of peppercorns can enter the salt, turn off the heat when the salt is fried until it turns slightly yellow, and then add a little peppercorns and stir well, (because continuous heating will make the taste of the peppercorns added earlier emanate, so you should add new peppercorns) to let the salt cool and set aside.
