Characterized by a short neck and slender legs, the chickens bred and raised in Wenchang in Hainan's North-East are renowned across China for their thin skin and lean, exceptionally flavorful meat that packs an umami punch and unique natural sweetness. The most authentic way to enjoy this delicacy is poached and served warm with rice and a selection of sauces. Bursting with flavor that is unabashedly its own, Wenchang chicken is an essential part of any Hainan culinary adventure.
