Cultural origin
From the perspective of cultural origin, it is said that paper-packed chicken has a history of 150 years, which was founded in Wuzhou folk.
Since Xianfeng period of Qing Dynasty, it has been listed as the main course for Wuzhou government to entertain guests.
In the early years of the Republic of China, the chef of Huancuilou at the foot of Beishan Mountain in Wuzhou comprehensively improved the production technology of paper-packed chicken from the aspects of material selection, ingredients, knife work, seasoning and cooking time, making it good in color, fragrance and taste. Since then, this restaurant has gained a great reputation and guests have poured in. Later, restaurants such as Yuexilou in Wuzhou were also famous for making paper-wrapped chicken.
1932, Pai Cheng, the general of Guangdong army, flew to Wuzhou by special plane and returned to Guangzhou for tasting.
1983 The Great Hall of the People in Beijing held a national cooking competition, and invited Mr. Chen Beishui, a famous chef from Wuzhou, to participate. Paper-wrapped chicken is famous in Beijing, winning the reputation of "a must in China"!
In the production of paper-wrapped chicken, in order to pursue authentic and authentic taste, Sanhuang chicken raised by local farmers was selected as raw materials, cut into pieces, pickled with soy sauce, ginger juice, star anise, fennel, dried tangerine peel, tsaoko, red Gu Mi, Gu Yue powder and scallion, decorated with a small amount of white wine, wrapped with jade paper one by one, and then soaked and fried with peanut oil. The original cooking method of dipping paper and frying locks the original flavor of chicken and seasoning, so it can keep chicken fresh, tender, mellow but not greasy, golden in color and fragrant in smell.
Paper-wrapped chicken has been passed down for more than 150 years, and now it is not only a traditional famous dish in Wuzhou, but also famous at home and abroad. It is a great pleasure for foreign tourists to come to Wuzhou and taste paper-wrapped chicken.
Development and inheritance
From the perspective of development and inheritance, although the paper-wrapped chicken 150 has been passed down for more than 50 years, it has been favored by local citizens and tourists at home and abroad in Wuzhou, but the production technology that could not keep fresh and was inconvenient to carry in the past has obviously failed to keep pace with the development of today's society. 20 12 Lin, a well-known person in Wuzhou food industry, director of Guangxi Cuisine Association and vice president of Wuzhou Catering Industry Chamber of Commerce, took the lead in proposing to innovate the traditional paper-covered chicken production technology. Under the guidance of Wuzhou Catering Industry Chamber of Commerce, he created a fresh-keeping gift box and a portable paper-wrapped chicken-Mackintosh paper-wrapped chicken, making the traditional paper-wrapped chicken truly a "Guangxi handwritten letter" in cuisine! Lin took the lead in taking traditional paper-wrapped chicken as a breakthrough and shouldered the mission of exploring the industrialization of Wuzhou local traditional cuisine without hesitation!
Mackintosh paper-wrapped chicken is in the same strain as traditional paper-wrapped chicken in the production process, so it can maintain the appearance and flavor of traditional paper-wrapped chicken. At the same time, in order to conform to the concept of "healthy diet" of modern people, McKinley has also made innovations and breakthroughs. Traditional paper-wrapped chicken tastes greasy, while Mackintosh paper-wrapped chicken reduces its oil intake by 60%. Because of the use of portable packaging, the sauce seasoning package is packaged independently, which separates the gravy and can be seasoned according to personal preferences. Mckinburg's outstanding contribution to the development of paper-wrapped chicken culture is mainly reflected in two aspects: First, it standardizes the traditional production technology of paper-wrapped chicken. Mackintosh and Wuzhou Catering Industry Chamber of Commerce jointly formulated the Enterprise Standard for Paper-wrapped Chicken, which strictly regulated a series of standards such as the quality of raw materials, production technology, physical and chemical health indicators of live chickens, and regarded it as an important technical document that must be followed in the processing and production of paper-wrapped chicken, which played a vital role in maintaining the stability of traditional paper-wrapped chicken quality. Therefore, when people eat chicken wrapped in paper, they will feel that the taste and taste are more stable than before. At the same time, McKinley wrapped chicken obtained QS national food production license. Second, the first fresh-keeping gift box and portable paper-wrapped chicken. This overcomes the problems that the traditional paper-wrapped chicken can only be cooked and eaten in Wuzhou local restaurant, which can not keep fresh and is inconvenient to carry, and makes the paper-wrapped chicken fresh and easy to carry. In a word, because of the standardization and preservation of products, it is possible for the traditional paper-wrapped chicken to take the road of nationalization, industrialization and brand development as a "Guangxi handwritten letter".
The innovation of Mackintosh has made the traditional paper-wrapped chicken truly become the "Guangxi handwritten letter" in food, which can be said to be the first to try, leading the tide of Wuzhou local food culture into a brand-new era of e-commerce and industrialization development, opening a brand-new page in the history of Wuzhou local food culture development, which is of milestone significance! The state is committed to adjusting the industrial structure and building an upgraded version of China's economy. We live in a brand-new era of Internet technology. E-commerce flies into the homes of ordinary people, and online shopping has become fashionable because of its convenience and quickness. At the same time, with the continuous improvement of people's living standards, the pursuit of daily diet quality is getting higher and higher. Mckinburg standardized the traditional paper-wrapped chicken products, solved the problem of product preservation, and let the people of the whole country fully rely on the modern e-commerce platform to taste authentic paper-wrapped chicken through online shopping! This also gives opportunities for ecological breeding bases, modern production factories, local products stores, restaurants and restaurants, and even middlemen and logistics providers of e-commerce platforms to participate. Therefore, chicken wrapped in paper is not only the first dish of traditional festival food culture in Wuzhou, but also the "Guangxi Handwritten Letter" in food, which plays a leading role in the development of local characteristic food culture industry in Wuzhou today and plays an important role in demonstrating, driving and promoting the development of "Wuzhou Handwritten Letter Culture"!
