Spray Chicken Rice

Spray Chicken Rice Spray Chicken Rice is a veteran store in Chiayi City's early market "First Shopping Mall" because its main store is located in the fountain circle of Chiayi City. Next to the ring, hence the name Spray Chicken Rice. Sprayed chicken rice was created by Mr. Lin Tianshou in 1949. Mr. Lin’s shop originally sold braised pork rice. At that time, the material environment was not good, and chicken could only be eaten during the Chinese New Year and festivals. As a result, Mr. Lin used his creativity to make the slices popular. Chicken is served with white rice. Later, this kind of chicken rice became popular across Taiwan, but shredded chicken was often used instead of chicken slices. Although chicken rice is now sold in flakes, shredded chicken rice is also sold (at a lower price). , currently only a few stores sell chicken slice-style chicken rice (such as ancient turkey rice, smile chicken rice). Currently, there are many chain franchise stores of Sprayed Chicken Rice in Chiayi City. Its characteristics are:

One of the first restaurants to use turkey legs instead of the traditional lower-quality parts of chicken to make chicken rice, which can be regarded as the origin of the modern method of chicken rice.

The Chiayi Chicken Rice Restaurant, which was the first to operate as a chain and enterprise, and introduced concepts such as trademarks, is very different from the traditional snack business. It has gradually transformed from a traditional roadside stall into a modern enterprise. .

It is also because of this that for some people (especially non-Chiayi locals), when it comes to Chiayi chicken rice, water-spraying chicken rice is the representative, or the so-called "old restaurant" or "our restaurant" , but in fact, the taste of water-sprayed chicken rice has changed since the old chef retired, but it is still of a certain standard. It's just that the quality of the branches varies, and it's not as good as the taste of the old store. In addition, the price is higher than other stores, so most Chiayi locals have their own favorite store, and they may not be particularly fond of the chicken rice. However, it is worth noting that when FamilyMart launched convenience stores with the theme of famous products from various parts of Taiwan, due to various business reasons, another store launched Liu Lichang Chicken Rice, which was not so famous in the first place.
