Bowl Chicken

Bowl Chicken

　　“Bowl Chicken” gets its name from the earthenware bowl used to serve it. It was a traditional snack popular in our county during the Qing Dynasty. Drawing on predecessors’ methods and taking into account local people’s taste preferences, Huang Weizhong improved the recipe by 20%. The preparation involves deboning and slicing cooked chicken, seasoning it primarily with numbing-spicy flavors and complementing it with a variety of condiments. Its characteristics include bright colors, delicious taste, red-and-white color contrast, crispy skin and tender meat, a slight touch of sweet and salty, along with numbing, spicy, and savory notes. It makes a unique pairing with milk soup noodles and is also an excellent accompaniment to drinks.

Huang Weizhong’s Bowl Chicken won the Chengdu Individual Famous Snack Quality Award in 1990 and was named a High-Quality Famous Snack by the Chengdu Municipal People's Government in 1991. (Qionglai)
