Hill chickens are raised free range on the mountainsides foraging for themselves and fed occasionally with rice. So the chickens are strong and their meat is really firm. These birds have red or black feathers, yellow legs and red crests.
Chicken is popular in many kinds of dishes, but most popular are the fried legs. The dish excites gastronomes by its yellow skin, crispness, fragrance and the tough sweet meat.
The dish should be eaten when it still hot with sticky rice.
Steamed chicken with lemon leaves is also delicious. The dish should be done to a turn to keep the yellow of the skin and sweetness with aroma of lemon leaves. The dish should be served with salt mixed with dried onion, pepper and lemon.
Moreover, fried chicken with noodles or fried chicken with mushroom are also very tasty.
