Gongbao chicken is made of chicken, peanuts, dried peppers, etc. It's delicious, tender, spicy but not dry. Because the chicken is wrapped with a layer of water lake powder, it's cooked and tender after quick frying. So how does Gongbao chicken get its name? It is said that it was created by the chef of the prince shaobaoding Baozhen in the late Qing Dynasty. It is said that Ding Baozhen has always maintained a simple life habit. Sometimes when he was busy with his official business and went back to the mansion late, the chef got the right temper. He grabbed some ready-made chicken, peppers, peanuts and so on in the kitchen. The hot pot was quickly fried and sent to him, which made him very happy. After he became an official in Sichuan, his kitchen also came with him from Shandong. He saw that Tianfu peanuts were no less than Shandong peanuts. After combining with Sichuan's spicy customs, he improved them. With a little sugar, he added fresh taste. Mr. Ding praised the move.

From then on, he jokingly called this dish Gongbao chicken
