Braised Chicken Rice

Jiang Yaping/Sunny

Abstract:Braised Chicken Rice, also known as Fragrant Chicken Pot or Rich Sauce Chicken Pot Rice, belongs to Shandong style of home-cooked dishes. It is a traditional famous dish originating from Tianqiao District, Jinan City, Shandong Province. It takes selected chicken leg meat as the main material, with shiitake mushrooms, green pepper and other ingredients, through a unique cooking process, and finally presents a golden color, fragrant, delicious taste. This delicious dish not only carries the taste memories of Jinan locals but has also won widespread recognition and affection across the country.

Origin

Illustration

[[File:picture 0.jpg]]

Compared with delicacies like Shaxian Snacks and Wuhan Hot Dry Noodles, which are directly “branded” with the names of their cities, the name of Braised Chicken Rice seems somewhat mysterious, and diners can not judge the origin of this dish from the name. Consequently, most people, when they first savor the delicious Braised Chicken Rice, are left wondering: “Where does it come from?”

Stories about the origin of Braised Chicken Rice are as numerous as the restaurants serving it. It is said that in the 1930s, “Braised Chicken with a Hundred Herbs” was the signature dish of the renowned Shandong cuisine restaurant “Jilingyuan” in Jinan, named so because it required over a dozen spices in its preparation. Han Fuju, then Chairman of Shandong Province, praised the dish after tasting it, saying, “This dish is a masterpiece, superior even among the best, truly unique,” and rewarded the chef with 30 silver dollars. Another saying is that during the Jiaqing period of the Qing Dynasty, the famous Jinan restaurant “Yanliuyuan” introduced this braised chicken to the imperial court, making it a palace dish. While it is difficult to ascertain the truth of this claim, there are also records in Eating in the Court written by Aisin-Gioro Hao, the wife of Puyi’s brother Pujie. (Zhuge, Liu Yuechen 2021, 32)

Development

[[File:picture 11.jpg]]

It was the fast-food chains in Jinan that truly made Braised Chicken Rice a household name, such as the most famous “Yang Mingyu Braised Chicken Rice.” With the continuous influx of franchise stores, since 2013, Braised Chicken Rice has gone viral nationwide, soaring in popularity and becoming a new “national snack.”

In just a few years, “Braised Chicken Rice” has opened all over the major provinces and cities in the country, and after occupying the shopping malls of second and third-tier cities, Beijing, Shanghai and other first-tier cities have now shown a prosperous scene of “full of braised chicken”. Before this, Shaxian Snacks have always been the representative of “national snacks”, but Braised Chicken Rice has since surpassed it, gradually pushing Shaxian aside to become the new favorite of the nation. At present, there are more than 200 brands of Braised Chicken Rice, with Yang Mingyu Braised Chicken Rice leading the industry with as many as 3,852 brand stores. Apart from these franchise brands, some people choose not to franchise and instead create and operate their own brands. (Jiang Huashan 2013, 58)

On the basis of inheriting the classics, Braised Chicken Rice is also constantly innovating and developing. From the initial single flavor to today’s diverse options, such as spicy, hot and spicy, and sauce fragrance, each flavor satisfies the needs of different consumers. At the same time, businesses are also working hard in the selection of ingredients, cooking skills, seasoning ratio and other aspects, striving to make every bowl of Braised Chicken Rice the “that bowl” in consumers’ hearts. (Zhuge, Liu Yuechen 2021, 32)

Reasons for Popularity

Firstly, it has a unique texture and delicious taste. Braised Chicken Rice is a dish primarily made with chicken, complemented by vegetables such as potatoes, carrots, and onions, along with a special braising sauce, all slow-cooked to perfection. The chicken is tender and juicy, the vegetables are well-seasoned, and when paired with fragrant rice, the dish offers a rich texture and a delightful flavor that leaves a lasting impression. This unique combination of taste and texture has made Braised Chicken Rice widely popular across the country.

Secondly, it is affordable and offers great value. Compared to some high-end dining options, Braised Chicken Rice is more accessible in terms of price, allowing more consumers to enjoy this dish. Moreover, its portion sizes are typically generous. This is also an important reason why Braised Chicken Rice has become so popular in China in a short period.

Thirdly, the production process is simple and easy to promote. The cooking process of Braised Chicken Rice is relatively simple, involving cutting the chicken and vegetables into pieces, adding the braising sauce, and then slow-cooking them. This simple process makes it easy to promote this kind of dish across the country, and restaurants can easily produce this food to meet the needs of consumers.

黄焖鸡米饭

简介

插图
[[File:picture 9.jpg]]

黄焖鸡米饭又叫香鸡煲、浓汁鸡煲饭，属于鲁菜系家常菜品，是源自山东省济南市天桥区的传统名吃。它以精选的鸡腿肉为主料，搭配香菇、青椒等食材，经过独特的烹饪工艺，最终呈现出色泽金黄、香气扑鼻、口感鲜美的佳肴。这道美食不仅承载着济南人的味蕾记忆，更在全国范围内赢得了广泛的认可和喜爱。

起源

相对于沙县小吃、武汉热干面等直接由城市“冠名”的美食来说，黄焖鸡米饭的名字显得有些神秘，食客完全无法从名字上来判断这道菜的出处。因此大多数人初尝黄焖鸡米饭的美味时都会疑惑：“它从哪里来？”

有关黄焖鸡起源的传说并不比满大街的黄焖鸡米饭馆子少。据传，20世纪30年代，“百草黄焖鸡”是鲁菜名店“吉玲园”的招牌菜，据说因为烹制过程中要用到十多种香料而得名。时任山东省主席的韩复榘吃过这道黄焖鸡后，赞道：“此鸡匠心独运，是上品之上，当为一绝。”末了还打赏30块银元。另一说法是清朝嘉庆年间的济南名馆“燕柳园”就把这道黄焖鸡带进了皇宫，从此成为宫廷菜。这个说法是否属实已难推断，不过在溥仪胞弟溥杰的夫人爱新觉罗·浩写的《食在宫廷》里也有记载。（诸葛，刘悦琛，2021年，32页）

发展

[[File:picture 8.jpg]]

真正让黄焖鸡米饭家喻户晓的是济南的快餐连锁，比如名气最盛的“杨铭宇黄焖鸡米饭”。随着加盟店的不断涌入，自2013年起，黄焖鸡米饭在全国开启暴走模式，关注度一跃而上，成为新的“国民小吃”。

短短几年“黄焖鸡米饭”开遍了全国各大省市，在占领二三线城市商场以后，北京、上海等一线城市如今也已经呈现出＂满城尽是黄焖鸡＂的繁荣景象。在此之前，沙县小吃一直是“国民小吃”的代言，而黄焖鸡米饭却后来者居上，逐渐挤下沙县，成为新一代的国民新宠。目前黄焖鸡米饭品牌有200多个，其中杨铭宇黄焖鸡米饭作为行业领头羊，品牌门店多达3852家。除去这一类加盟品牌之外，也有人选择不加盟自创品牌经营。(姜华山, 2013年, 58页)

在传承经典的基础上，黄焖鸡米饭也在不断创新和发展.从最初的单一口味，到如今的多样化选择，如麻辣、香辣、酱香等，每一种口味都满足了不同消费者的需求。同时，商家们还在食材选择、烹饪技巧、调料配比等方面下功夫,力求让每一碗黄焖鸡米饭都能成为消费者心中的“那一碗”（诸葛，刘悦琛，2021年，32页）。

走红原因

第一，口感独特，味道鲜美。黄焖鸡米饭是一道以鸡肉为主要食材，加入土豆、胡萝卜、洋葱等蔬菜，以及特制的黄焖酱料，经过慢炖烹饪而成的美食。鸡肉鲜嫩多汁，蔬菜入味，搭配上香喷喷的米饭，口感丰富，味道鲜美，让人回味无穷。这种独特的口感和味道，使得黄焖鸡米饭在全国范围内受到了广泛的喜爱。

第二，价格亲民，性价比高。相较于其他一些高端餐饮，黄焖鸡米饭的价格更为亲民，让更多的消费者能够享受到这道美食。而且，黄焖鸡米饭的份量通常都很足，一份黄焖鸡米饭就能让消费者吃得饱饱的，性价比非常高。这也是黄焖鸡米饭能够在全国范围内迅速火起来的一个重要原因。

第三，制作工艺简单，易于推广。黄焖鸡米饭的制作过程相对简单，只需要将鸡肉和蔬菜切块，加入黄焖酱料，然后慢炖烹饪即可。这种简单的制作工艺，使得黄焖鸡米饭容易在全国范围内推广，各地的餐饮店都能够轻松地制作出这道美食，满足消费者的需求。
