The reputation of "Golden Rooster" began in Qing Dynasty.
Daokou roast chicken, named after its abundance in Daokou Town, hua county, was founded in the 18th year of Shunzhi in Qing Dynasty (A.D. 166 1) and became famous in Qianlong period. It was once praised as "the best food in the world" by Emperor Qianlong, and it has been well-known in all directions for more than 300 years. According to the Records of Huaxian County, before 100, due to poor technical conditions and no special products, the business of roast chicken at Daokou was not prosperous. In the fifty-second year of Qianlong (AD 1787), Zhang Bing, the ancestor of Zhang Cunyou, the eighth descendant of "LAY" roast chicken, once wandered in the street and came across an old friend who had worked as a chef in the imperial dining hall of the Qing Dynasty, and learned the secret of "eight ingredients and soup stock should be added to roast chicken". So Zhang Bing cooked the roast chicken according to usage and dosage, and the color of the roast chicken was really good. In the long-term production practice, he constantly explored and improved the selection of raw materials, slaughtering and unhairing, cutting and processing, chicken modeling, frying and cooking, seasoning with soup, mastering the heat and so on, and summed up a set of successful experiences. At that time, the roast chicken in Zhang Bing was famous for its "color, fragrance, taste and rotten" and was named "LAY". Since then, the roast chicken at Daokou has been passed down from generation to generation, which is not only a stunt, but also a century-old soup. Zhang Bing's descendants inherited and developed the exquisite skills of their ancestors, so that "LAY" roast chicken has always maintained a unique flavor. During Jiaqing period of Qing dynasty, Daokou roast chicken became a tribute of Qing court.
