Dare to Try? Big Plate Chicken!

Wednesday, August 16, 2023

Big Plate Chicken, also known as "Da Pan Ji" in Chinese, is a popular and flavorful dish from Xinjiang, China. It is a hearty and satisfying meal that combines tender chunks of chicken, potatoes, bell peppers, and onions, all stewed together in a rich and aromatic spicy sauce. The sauce is made from a blend of various spices, including Sichuan peppercorns, chili peppers, and other aromatic seasonings, giving the dish its signature tongue-tingling spiciness. 大盘鸡 is often served with a side of hand-pulled noodles or steamed rice, making it a favorite choice for both locals and visitors seeking a taste of Xinjiang's vibrant and bold flavors.

新疆大盘鸡 ( Xīnjiāng Dàpánjī ) got its name from the way it is prepared and served. The dish is traditionally cooked in a large pan or wok along with various ingredients.

大(dà)-The word "大" (dà) in the name of Dapanji signifies a "big" plate or wok, as this dish is typically prepared and served in a large plate or pan.

盘(pán)-"盘" (pán) refers to a plate or dish, which is a container used to hold food.

鸡(jī)-"鸡" (jī) refers to the main ingredient of this dish, which is chicken meat.
