Why use litchi firewood to roast chicken?
In the hard days of the 1960s, Shaxi was a place rich in litchi. At that time, the litchi variety Guiwei produced in Shimen Village of Shaxi was particularly excellent. It is said that the cinnamon flavor of Shimen can be sold at a higher price in Hong Kong fruit stalls.

When the litchi is ripe, it is guarded by the militia in the local village. Whenever the hunger is unbearable in the middle of the night, the militia has no conditions to cook.

Simply season the chickens coming from the mountains with salt and oil, burn the crocks commonly used in rural areas with the dry branches of litchi trees, then put them in the chickens and cover them with wooden boards to cook.

It is this simple cooking method that produces extraordinary taste effects by mistake under simple conditions. Nowadays, the old-fashioned litchi firewood roast chicken is generally selected from the ground chickens stocked by farmers, pickled with nourishing herbs and condiments, and naturally dried.

Litchi wood and charcoal were added to the earthen pot by the traditional production method, so that the whole roast chicken was cooked into crispy skin, smooth meat and delicious bone flavor. When served on the table, it is the top grade with a faint smell of litchi wood, which is especially good in the natural litchi forest.
