DELICIOUS DaPanJi / "Big Plate Chicken" | Cuisine from Xinjiang, China

One of the most popular dishes in western China is what's known as DaPanJi, directly translated as "Big Plate Chicken". It's a perfect name, actually, because that's what it is: a big. plate. of chicken. :)

Most people mistakenly think that DaPanJi or 大盘鸡 is a Uyghur dish when it is, in fact, a Hui dish. There are over a million Hui people (written 回族 in Chinese) in Xinjiang but the largest population lives in the Gansu, Ningxia and Qinghai provinces.

Still their presence is most felt in Xinjiang through this DaPanJi dish. It is the most popular part of their cuisine - and there's a reason for that! The chicken, potatoes, onions and special sauce combine to make an absolutely delicious dish!

If you're ever traveling to Xinjiang, Gansu, Ningxia or Qinghai, you'll want to stop for some special China street food with this dish of DaPanJi. You won't regret it!
