Dezhou Braised Chicken is a famous dish from Dezhou, Shandong. It’s got a beautifully golden, glossy skin and meat so tender it practically falls off the bone. The cooking process is meticulous—marinating, braising, and slow-cooking with aromatic spices, all while shaping the chicken into its signature “claw-to-head” pose. The result? A fragrant, flavorful dish that’s delicious whether eaten hot or cold. Even the bones are so soft, you could almost chew them!
