Chicken Marinated in Red Yeast Wine

Red Yeast Chicken

　　Red Yeast Chicken is a traditional famous dish from Fuzhou. The preparation involves simmering carefully selected tender frog meat in a lightly boiling pot of water (the water must not boil) until fully cooked, then removing and cooling it before cutting into pieces and marinating. The marinade is made by mixing MSG, salt, red yeast rice, five-spice powder, Shaoxing wine, sugar, and chicken broth until well combined. This dish features a tender, soft texture with a rich, mellow aroma, a sweet and tangy taste, and a full-bodied, savory flavor.
