Because of its color, fragrance, taste and shape, it was very popular in the emperor shunzhi at that time. Later, Lu Zikang, a wandering folk poet, praised his chicken after tasting its unique flavor, and immediately wrote a poem: "Traveling around to eat chicken" and "Traveling through mountains and wading in water, with beautiful scenery." Lu Yu's treasure land has a unique taste, and chinese odyssey, the nestling here. "
According to folk historical records; During the Qing Dynasty, one day the emperor shunzhi led several personal ministers around him to visit the people. When the inspection passed a mountain, the emperor felt that the other side was hungry. The accompanying ministers laid out the tables and drinks prepared in the palace before leaving, waiting for the emperor to eat. While the emperor was eating, an animal like a bird flew out of the grass because the dust on its wings angered the emperor. As soon as the accompanying ministers saw it, they gave orders. Several archers accompanying him shot down flying animals flying hundreds of meters away. One of the ministers grew up in the mountains, so when the archer brought it back, he looked intently and immediately told the emperor, "Your emperor calmed down. It was a pheasant that disturbed your emperor to eat just now, and now it has been shot here by his archer." Listen! The emperor sighed, "alas! In recent years, the royal chef in the palace has only cooked a few dishes that suit my taste. . . . . . "The emperor hesitated. At this time, another minister on the side saw the emperor's mind and took over. "Your majesty, if you make this pheasant delicious for you to taste, it is that this pheasant cannot be eaten by the holy family. Why not take it back to the palace and cook a good meal for the holy family? " As soon as the minister's words stopped, the ministers immediately entertained him; This suggestion is very good!
After the inspection, he returned to the palace and the emperor issued an imperial edict; "Mukden carrier, emperor Zhao Yue, from now on, within three days, the chef is now facing all chefs in Beijing to carry out cooking competitions, and the winner will be recruited as the chef. . . . . . "The cooking contest is made with a cock that can't crow. One of them is from Chongqing, the sole founder of the Yan family. He stood out from hundreds of chefs and made the fried crispy chicken that has been handed down to this day. Its flavor is fragrant, its skin is crisp, its color is fresh and tender, and it is served with Chongqing-style hot sauce package. It can be said that the eyes of the viewer are greedy, and the taste of the eater is also greedy. After years of baptism, Chongqing's fried chicken was exclusively developed by later generations, creating a chicken that tastes better than its ancestors and is suitable for modern people or regional tastes. Now it is renamed crispy fried chicken with unique flavor. Chicken, drumstick and chicken with unique flavor are renamed crispy chicken with unique flavor.
