Ancient Town Chicken Giblets
×Ciqikou chicken-giblet pot
Why you must eat itChicken giblets — gizzard, liver, intestine — stir-fried in an iron pot with pickled chili and mustard-stem and fresh chili, then simmered at the table on a burner as you eat. The sourness of the pickles rides over the heat and clears the offal's edge. The crunch is the point, and it drives rice. As the meat thins, add vegetables, potato and noodles to cook on, just like hotpot. A pot for several — a Ciqikou specialty, with adjustable heat.
Ciqikou chicken giblets is a signature plate of the old town, and shops on the Main Street line up under the name. Once a home-and-canteen dish, it became a town specialty served as a pot. Generous pickles are the Chongqing way, and the balance of sour and hot is each shop's character. It takes a little time to make, so order as soon as you sit.
