Taihe roasted chicken is an iconic rural delicacy that captures the wild, authentic flavors of southern China.

Made with free-range local three-yellow chickens raised in orchards and hillsides, the meat is firm, springy, and full of natural umami. Marinated for hours in a secret blend of spices and herbs, the whole chicken is then slow-roasted in a traditional clay kiln over lychee or longan wood, infusing every bite with sweet, smoky fruitwood fragrance. 

Skilled chefs carefully control the heat to achieve a golden, crispy skin and juicy, tender meat. The best way to enjoy it is to tear it apart by hand — a bold, rustic way to savor the pure, unadulterated taste of farm-fresh ingredients. 

More than just food, Taihe roasted chicken embodies Baiyun's culinary heritage: simple ingredients, crafted with care, and passed down through generations.
