Dong 'anzi chicken
The dish "Dong 'an Zi Chicken" was founded during the Kaiyuan period of the Tang Dynasty. It was invented by some restaurants in Dong' an County, Hunan Province. It has a history of thousands of years.
Legend has it that although Dong 'an County was not large at that time, merchants from south to north would pass through it, and the market was relatively prosperous. Once, several businessmen who were going north to Chang 'an to do business passed by here. After looking for a restaurant and staying overnight at night, everyone was hungry all the way, so they asked the shopkeeper to arrange meals first. At this time, the kitchen in the inn was already closed. In desperation, the shopkeeper ordered the chef to chop up a few leftover chickens cooked in the day and fry them for the merchants to eat. Unexpectedly, the taste was so delicious and deeply appreciated by the merchants. He couldn't help but ask the name of the dish. The boss had an idea and named it "Dong' an Chicken".
After being promoted by merchants all the way, its reputation reached Chang 'an. This dish gradually began to become famous and won the favor of past merchants. At that time, this dish was unknown here, but it was all dawn in Waifu. Even the county magistrate only learned that there was such a famous dish in the county later. In order to find out, he went to taste it himself. After eating it, he felt that the taste was really good. The county magistrate later suggested that the store should use tender chicken to make it taste better, and later changed its name to "Dong 'anzi Chicken".
This dish has been continuously improved and has been passed down to this day. This is also called a lucky catch. It was a strange thing. Originally, it was to deal with an urgent need. The shop staff were making a fuss just to make the customers full. Unexpectedly, they produced a famous historical dish, haha!
