But in the matter of eating chicken, China people have given chicken enough dignity and respect. Cut in white, boiled in soup, wrapped in mud, wrapped in naan. Chickens born in kung pao chicken, Sichuan, Saute Chicken in Xinjiang, Spicy Chicken in Guizhou, Sauted Chicken in Guangdong, Wenchang Chicken in Hainan and Sanbei Chicken in Taiwan Province defended the dignity of "a vast world with great potential" with their actions.

The local chicken, dried bamboo shoots of Tianmu Mountain, dried mushrooms and Lycium barbarum were used. The stewed chicken tasted fresh and smooth, and the dried bamboo shoots absorbed the delicate flavor of chicken soup, which relieved the greasy feeling of chicken. The soup is very rich, and it is very pleasant to have a bowl of local chicken soup in winter.
