Fengtang Geng's Smoked Chicken

　　Fengtang Geng's Smoked Chicken is a specialty dish from Fengtang Township, Huaiyang County, Zhoukou City, Henan Province. It features a golden color, crispy skin with tender and juicy meat, falling-off-the-bone texture, rich yet not greasy, with a well-balanced savory flavor. It boasts a mild cured meat aroma and offers spleen-strengthening health benefits.

　　Fengtang Geng's Smoked Chicken has a long history, originating in the Qing Dynasty when it was introduced from the imperial court to the public. The processing of the smoked chicken is based on an imperial secret recipe, refined over four generations of the Geng family through careful research, forming a complete set of scientific processing procedures. The dish uses six-month-old robust free-range chickens, carefully selected over 20 kinds of natural premium spices and Chinese medicinal herbs, involving more than 10 handcrafted procedures.

　　Fengtang Geng's Smoked Chicken is widely renowned for its perfect shape, enticing color, unique flavor, and reliable quality. It is deeply loved by consumers and widely sold in surrounding cities and counties. The product has been recognized as a “Zhoukou High-Quality Flavor Snack” by the Zhoukou Administration for Industry and Commerce, Zhoukou Commerce Bureau, Zhoukou Consumers Association, and Zhoukou Individual Laborers Association. It has also won the title of “Trustworthy Product” among Zhoukou consumers and, in 2005, received national trademark registration for the “Fengtang Geng’s” brand from the China National Intellectual Property Administration.

　　The Fengtang Geng's Smoked Chicken Shop in Huaiyang County is located in the bustling center of Fengtang Town. It is currently operated by the fourth-generation inheritor of the Geng family’s smoked chicken, Geng Zhen.
