The juicy chicken is smothered in a thick, red-oil-based sauce. Rich, spicy, numbing, sweet, and savory, it wakes up your senses and makes you crave for more. The literal translation of 口水鸡 is saliva chicken, which does not sound very wonderful. But in fact, the Chinese dish name means “mouthwatering chicken”, which is a more proper name for this famous dish. It might be one of the most famous Sichuan dishes in China but is lesser known overseas.
