Fried chicken is a famous dish in Guangdong Province.

Fried chicken, also known as crispy chicken or crispy fried chicken, is a Cantonese-style fried chicken commonly found in restaurants in Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macau. Although the fried chicken sounds greasy on the surface, it looks golden in color and tastes crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. It is dry, fragrant and salty, and does not feel greasy at all.

Fried chicken is different from ordinary fried chicken. It is not fried in a large pot of boiling water. Instead, the marinated raw chicken is hung up, and then boiling oil is continuously poured on the raw chicken. Cook until chicken skin is crispy and meat is smooth. Although good taste is guaranteed, fried chicken is destined to be a reserved dish in many restaurants. Because making fried chicken is time-consuming, it is rarely used as a daily lunch or dinner dish. It is more common in wedding banquets and other occasions. For good luck, it is given names such as "popular fried chicken" and "lucky fried chicken".

Choose to fry your own raw chicken: First pay attention to the appearance, color and texture of the chicken. Generally speaking, the size of fresh and hygienic chicken pieces will not vary greatly, the color will be white with red inside, look bright, and feel smooth. If you touch the chicken that has been filled with water, you will feel that the surface is somewhat uneven, as if there are lumps.
