Jingpo Ghost Chicken

Jingpo Ghost Chicken

　　This dish may sound quite scary, but it tastes absolutely amazing！ It has an interesting backstory — historically, the Jingpo people had a custom of sacrificing chickens to spirits. “Ghost Chicken” refers to the chicken offered as a sacrifice to the spirits. After cooking, the chicken was cooled, shredded, and served outdoors with chopped ginger, garlic, Myanmar coriander, lemon leaves, and other ingredients, mixed with salt, MSG, soy sauce, and other seasonings. To enjoy this delicious dish more often, the ingenious Jingpo people brought “Ghost Chicken” to their dining tables, where it became a favorite dish to serve honored guests.
