Yuanshang Roast Chicken

  Yuanshang Authentic Roast Chicken (“Yan Dou” brand), produced in Yuanshang Town, Laixi City, Shandong Province, dates back to the Qing Dynasty (legend has it that during the Qing Dynasty, a high-ranking official passed through Yuanshang and happened upon freshly baked roast chicken. Drawn by the aroma, he stopped and sent someone to inquire about the delicious smell. Upon learning it was roast chicken, he tried it and was full of praise, so he reported it to the court, and Yan Dou Roast Chicken became famous as a result). With a century-old heritage, it uses a secret family recipe combined with modern techniques. Locally raised free-range roosters are marinated with over 20 kinds of traditional Chinese herbs such as cloves, grass fruit, and star anise, then roasted over fruitwood charcoal. The result is vibrant in color, uniquely flavorful, rich in nutrition, fragrant yet not greasy. It is reasonably priced, making it a great gift and an essential item for festive celebrations.

   Yuanshang Authentic Roast Chicken (“Yan Dou” brand) has been honored with titles such as “Laixi Folk Specialty Snack,” “Top Ten Famous Dishes of Laixi,” and “Featured Delicacy of Chinese Culinary Culture.”
