Historical origin of braised chicken wings
Braised chicken wings, founded in the early Qing Dynasty, have a history of more than 300 years. Majia braised chicken is a halal flavor, and the selection of ingredients is particularly particular. They are all fresh and tender live chickens. Cage chickens are the mainstream now, and free-range chickens in mountainous areas should be used as much as possible. The slaughter was carried out in strict accordance with Islamic rules. Only after passing the quarantine inspection by the health and animal quarantine departments can they be selected. Before marinating, wash the chicken, insert one wing into the mouth, bend the head backward, fold the other wing, separate the legs, and put the claws into the cavity in a pipa shape. Then put it into the broth and mix it with precious meat materials such as clove, Amomum villosum, cardamom and angelica dahurica, as well as seasonings such as iodized salt, pepper, aniseed and fennel. Cook according to the age of the chicken. Cooked braised chicken is reddish in yellow, bright in color and smooth in skin. No skin damage, no bone removal, no tooth plugging, and it is suitable for all ages.

It is said that Empress Dowager Cixi and Emperor Guangxu, who fled to xi 'an in 190 1, stayed in Zhengding for three days on their way back to Beijing. In addition to visiting many places of interest in Zhengding, they also tasted famous foods with various flavors. At that time, they were full of praise for Majia braised chicken, a century-old brand, saying it was fragrant, fresh, tender and delicious.
