Boye Braised Chicken

Boye Braised Chicken

　　  Braised chicken, also known as five-spice boneless chicken, has a history of nearly 100 years and is a renowned specialty dish from northern China, made by simmering a whole chicken in a brine. The main nutritional components of braised chicken include fat, protein, carotene, vitamins, dietary fiber, and minerals such as calcium, potassium, phosphorus, sodium, selenium, and magnesium. The chicken is cooked with a variety of Chinese herbs and spices. Once cooked, simply lift the leg and give it a shake — the meat will easily separate from the bone. The characteristics of braised chicken are: five-spice flavor, boneless tenderness, delicate meat, pure taste, and flavor that penetrates the bone marrow.
