Wuzhen Soy Sauce Chicken

Wuzhen Soy Sauce Chicken

　　Wuzhen Soy Sauce Chicken uses free-range female local chickens raised by farmers in the same year as its main ingredient. During processing, the whole chicken is roasted, simmered in its own juices, and the broth is extracted three times; it is then simmered again with premium soy sauce, yellow rice wine, sugar, and spices. Before serving, a layer of sesame oil is brushed on top to complete the dish. Thanks to being repeatedly simmered in its original juices, most of the moisture in the chicken evaporates, making it extremely easy to preserve — there’s a saying that it “does not spoil in June or freeze in winter.” The finished dish has a glossy, reddish-brown glaze, a tender and crispy texture, a delicious taste, and a lingering aftertaste.
