Chengdu and Chongqing's obsession with hot pot is far deeper than that of other cities, and fat intestine chicken can be regarded as a derivative product of hot pot, and Xie Ji fat intestine chicken is closer to dry pot.
Xie Kee Fat Intestine Chicken was founded in 2002, the owner has accumulated 7 years of catering experience, and also operated a fat intestine noodle shop. The whole chicken and the fat intestines are boiled alternately in the same soup, while the traditional plan is wary of the smell of the fat intestines, and the pot is usually hot. After boiling, the fat sausage and chicken are stir-fried in hot oil, and then the secret sauce is added and cooked.
The sauce contributes the most to the flavor of the fat intestine chicken, which is also one of the characteristics of Chengdu's pan-hot pot dishes. Xie Kee produces heavy oil and flavor, but since 2017, its flavor has been adjusted, and the taste is not as strong as in the past.
The cold pot skewers in the store belong to the dry mix category, and the toppings are very unique, which are made by pouring dried sea pepper and minced garlic with hot oil. This also makes Xie Ji's cold pot skewers one of the few garlic skewers in Chengdu. Similar to fat intestine chicken, its flavor also tends to weaken.
Due to the desire to deal with the fat intestine chicken, Xie Ji got rid of the ordinary soup pot shabu waiting time, and the turnover rate was higher. Even so, the store is often full. In order to sort out the flow of customers, the store used to use a "shuttle bus" to transport the flow of customers to the branches. The shuttle bus is a 5-seater vehicle, and the advertising effect is sometimes greater than the actual function, and the owner has found a better solution, and his branch has been moved next to the residence.
It is reported that around 2017, the owner has been exploring the franchise business model, and many diners believe that this is an important reason for the fluctuation of flavor. Despite this, the flavor of Xie Kee Fat Sausage Chicken is still high-quality, and it is a small shop worth tasting.
