Big Plate Chicken
Overview
Xinjiang Big Plate Chicken is a famous dish in Xinjiang. It originated in the early 1990s. It is mainly made of chicken nuggets and potatoes and cooked with leather noodles. Xinjiang chicken is brightly colored, with smooth and spicy chicken and soft, sweet potatoes. It is spicy and fragrant. What Anna makes may not be authentic, but deliciousness is the last word. The bare plate at the end proves that the taste is indeed great. For the convenience of making it at home, I bought ready-made wide-cut noodles. If you have time, you can also try to make belt noodles by yourself. It will definitely be more delicious.
