2. Xinjiang saute spicy chicken appeared in the 1980s. In Shawan County, Xinjiang, a chef named Li Shilin opened a restaurant called "Manpengge", and the specialty of the restaurant was spicy chicken nuggets. One day, employees of a construction company came to eat spicy chicken pieces. These employees liked this dish very much, but they felt that the quantity was too small. When he saw chef Li Shilin coming out of the backyard with the whole chicken, he asked him to fry the whole chicken. Because there were too many pieces of fried chicken, Li Shilin put them on a plate with noodles. After eating, these guests were so hooked that they attracted the attention of the guests next door and asked for one, and the saute spicy chicken became famous.
