Zhou's Roast Duck

Zhou's Roast Duck

　　Oil-blistered roast duck is a long-standing famous snack from Qionglai. Zhou Fuyuan, a local from the county, carefully prepared it according to traditional techniques. When it became a bestseller in Linqiong Town, people started calling it “Zhou’s Duck.”

　　He was particular about his ingredients, paying special attention to selecting ducks and crafting the brine. First, he prepared the brine using a variety of spices, then cooked the cleaned local ducks, let them cool slightly, brushed them with sugar syrup, and then fried them in oil. The oil-blistered roast duck he made had a bright red color, crispy skin, tender meat, well-balanced salty and sweet flavors, and a delicious lingering aftertaste. It became very popular among the public.

　　In 1987, the oil-blistered roast duck from “Zhou’s Duck Shop” won an award for famous snacks at the Chengdu Individual Famous Snacks, Crafts, and Products Exhibition and Sales Event. (Qionglai)
