Century Chicken

Century Chicken

　　Century Chicken—originally named "Pinyuan Chicken," also known as "Number One Scholar Chicken." Its successor, Wang Xiye, came to Lanzhou in 1985 to inherit the family business. He renamed it "Century Chicken," hoping that the business would thrive for a hundred years and remain prosperous for a long time; and also implying that the chicken could help people live longer and enjoy a century of life. Century Chicken mainly features roasted chicken, with a golden appearance, crispy skin, tender and juicy meat, and a rich aroma. Currently, there are dozens of varieties of Century Chicken dishes, among which hot pot chicken is the most exceptional. There are now five "Century Chicken" hot pot chain stores in Lanzhou, located on Donggang West Road, the western section of Hezheng Road, and in the Xigu District, among other places. The restaurants are packed with diners every day, and it’s generally necessary to book a table two to three hours in advance to secure a seat. (Lanzhou)
