Among its claims to fame is the Liangting Steamed Chicken, one of Guangxi’s “Top Ten Famous Dishes,” created exclusively by Beiliu Liangting Gourmet City. With its distinctive flavor and a chain of dozens of restaurants, it became a standout brand during the inaugural Guangxi Top Ten Catering Brands Selection and Promotion event.

The free-range Liangting chicken is cherished by diners for its high protein, low cholesterol, and absence of antibiotics and hormones, while also offering health benefits such as nourishment, beauty enhancement, and skin care—further elevating this dish.

　　"Liangting Chicken" has been widely raised by the people of Beiliu since ancient times. Today, Beiliu has established a production and business model of "technology + company + base + farmer." The annual output exceeds 18 million broilers and 1,000 tons of eggs, with products being exported to Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan, and Southeast Asian countries. Guangxi Beiliu Liangting Poultry Industry Development Co., Ltd. uses this breed as its foundation. While maintaining the original taste and texture of the Liangting free-range chicken, the company focuses on breeding goals such as improving flock uniformity and laying performance in hens, engaging in strain selection and coordinated production.
