Guoliang Roast Chicken

The third stop of the 2023 summer vacation trip is Zibo City, Shandong Province. When I visited the Eight Bureaus on the first morning, I saw Guoliang roasted chicken at the entrance. It looked very tempting and had a first-class appearance, but it was too greasy to eat in the morning. I didn't buy it. At noon the next day, when I was leaving for the Qi State Museum, I was waiting for the bus downstairs and happened to see the Guoliang Roasted Chicken Headquarters. It took 20 minutes to wait for the bus, so I bought a roasted chicken for lunch. I asked for the smallest one for 40 yuan. It tasted good, the chicken was fragrant and tender, but it was a little salty. Overall, it was delicious, and the portion was large. There was still a lot left for two people.

Delicious snacks, the chicken skin is tasty, the chicken is good, and the lamb chops are also great.

The taste is good, it is a time-honored brand, clean and hygienic, and worth recommending.
