founder

Wang Mingkui (1874— 1944) is the founder of braised chicken. Wang Mingkui, a native of Yueyawan Village in Yucheng County (now Yucheng City), is the founder of "spiced boneless braised chicken" in Yucheng. 189 1 year, he started to make a living by braised chicken. One day, Wang Mingkui cooked the chicken for more than the specified time, and the chicken had collapsed, carrying a drumstick and separating the flesh and blood.

He played it by ear and named it "Boneless Braised Chicken", which was sold in the market and soon sold out. Later, he consulted an old Chinese medicine practitioner and used clove, cinnamon, pepper, aniseed and fennel as seasonings to make braised chicken, which had all five flavors, so it was called "spiced boneless braised chicken". "spiced boneless braised chicken" is not only delicious, but also fat but not greasy.

The Wangs have opened braised chicken shops in Yucheng Railway Station, Jinan City, Zhanhua County and Lijin County. Later, Yucheng people set up shop near Dezhou Railway Station, where the traffic was developed, and imitated Wang Mingkui's production of "Braised Chicken with Spiced Bones", so they became famous throughout the country as "Braised Chicken in Dezhou".
