Wenchang chicken

Wenchang chicken is a type of chicken breed and a chicken dish from the Wenchang city area in the island province of Hainan, China. This variety of small, fleshy free-range chicken is fed coconut and peanut bran. During the last two months before going to market, they are kept in coops above the ground. It is known for having tender meat. Wenchang chicken is known throughout the province of Hainan. The traditional way to prepare Wenchang chicken is "white cutting" (白切), which involves immersing the chicken in almost boiling water and cooking to preserve its softness and tenderness. It is then eaten by dipping the pieces in a mixture of spices, including chopped ginger and garlic, and salt. The skin of Wenchang chicken is typically yellow, with an oily appearance, although the meat is somewhat drier and has more texture than battery chickens. This dish is also popular in mainland China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, and other Southeast Asian countries.
