Yao Yao Chicken is run by a family, and the hostess is named "Yao Yao", hence the name of the shop. The male owner was originally an employee of a nearby heavy cotton factory, and was laid off in the late 90s to run a "small fried" restaurant. After continuous exploration, the owner created a unique condiment, which made the flavor of the dishes competitive at that time.
Similar to Tan Tan Fish, Yao Yao Chicken is also a legendary shop located in the family area of the Tuwan Heavy Cotton Factory in Shapingba. Interestingly, the two stores are located next to each other, so they are often compared by senior foodies.
The behavior of gourmets may be confusing, Yao Yao Chicken produces roast chicken, Tan Tan Fish focuses on hot pot fish, and the ingredients are not the same. However, the Sichuan and Chongqing diets prefer to use condiments to cook the flavor of dishes, and the original taste of the ingredients is often not taken seriously, so it is reasonable to compare the flavor of the soup base seasoning. After tasting the two restaurants in a short period of time, it is not difficult to find that the red oil soup base is very similar, and Tan Tan Fish just adds some sauerkraut to accompany it. Yao Yao Chicken was once a smash hit, and the former ace soup is no longer at the top level, if you are just looking for taste, Tan Tan Fish is actually even more scarce.
In terms of taste, Yao Yao chicken has shortcomings. The chicken nuggets are woody, which makes the spices at the bottom of the pot taste average. Looking at Chongqing, there is no obvious advantage to this level, but fortunately, the quality control of the small shop is stable, which can comfort diners.
Yao Yao's Chicken Restaurant looks like a makeshift and has the most humble environment on this list, with old trees even crossing the ceiling. The in-store service also matches the environment, making it seem informal. As the two owners grew older, the family-run restaurant began to pay attention to labor intensity, serving only about 20 chickens a day, which was basically in short supply, so it only accepted reservations. The hostess who was in charge of the reception in the "front room" was able to speak out, identify customers by their eyes, and put on a different service attitude.
Yao Yao chicken slaughtered on site, weighing more than 5 catties, suitable for more than 4 people to eat. In addition, if you are late, you may not be accommodated. Yao Yao Chicken is adjacent to Tan Tan Fish, and it is also recommended to travel from the north side of Poly Real Estate.
