Among them, traditional famous dishes such as spicy baby chicken and hair hair cow blinds are famous. At the end of the Qing Dynasty, Zeng Guangluo, the grandson of Zeng Guofan and Xiangxiang Hanlin, dined in Yulou east of Changsha, leaving behind the popular verse "Spicy chicken soup bubble belly, which makes people often remember Yulou east". There are also diners who praise: the outer caramel is tender and spicy chicken, the color is golden and the taste is new, if you ask the restaurant where it is good, Xiaoxiang is better than Yuloudong.
Spicy chicken is usually made with hen chicken as the main ingredient, accompanied by chili peppers as an accessory, fried in cooking oil, and then cooked with cooking wine, yellow vinegar, garlic and other spices. After the dish is cooked, the color is bright and oily, the pepper aroma is strong, the chicken is smooth and tender, and the taste is salty and spicy.
