No. 74, Yanjiang West Road, Wenchang (Middle Store)
What travelers say:
Wenchang chicken is the first of Hainan's four famous delicacies. White-cut chicken is the most classic. It is particularly fat and tender. Generally, after being raised for 6 months, the chicken needs to be caged in a quiet and dark place and is prohibited from moving around. It is fattened for about 60 days, so it may not meet the modern dietary health standards.
There are three century-old Wenchang chicken restaurants with the "Triangle Street" sign, all nearby. If you are going for the Internet celebrity restaurant on the review, then look for the "Middle Store". I tried two of them. The service and dish presentation of the middle store are indeed better.

Wenchang chicken is famous. How can you not try it when you come to Wenchang? The taste is quite good. For two people, ordering a pound of chicken and a vegetarian dish is enough. The way it is cooked here is boiled and very tender.
We called the boss directly to make an appointment, and called the boss after we arrived. Then the boss warmly welcomed us to their restaurant for dinner. We ordered eggplant pot, family portrait, and winter melon and conch soup. They tasted good, authentic Wenchang chicken.
There are several chicken shops next to each other, and they all say theirs is the best. After comparing, I chose this one. I have been eating Wenchang chicken for a few days, and this one should be the most authentic. The chicken skin is shiny and the taste is good, especially the seasoning is very tempting, and the chicken oil rice is also delicious. The staff are very busy, so the environment can't be too particular.
We walked around the old street, bought some clothes, and took some photos of the scenery along the way. It was about lunch time, so we walked to the bridge. Standing on the bridge, we saw three chicken rice restaurants. I chose the larger one, the one in the middle. We ordered the signature chicken, family portrait, eggplant pot, sweet potato leaves, and some side dishes. We ate very delicious food.
I ate chicken for two days during the weekend in Wenchang. How can I not eat Wenchang chicken? Boiled Wenchang chicken tastes best with blood, and the skin is so thin. It's really a good price for Wenchang chicken at 40 yuan per catty. We asked for the chicken leg part, and it was really tender. The Fushou fish has a sweet and sour taste. It's a big fish. It's fried in a pan first and then cooked in another pan. 40 yuan per piece is really a good price. The shrimp paste sweet potato leaves are also very good, with a strong shrimp paste flavor. 18 yuan per portion. The chicken oil rice is oily but not greasy. It's really cheap at less than 100 yuan. There are three chicken rice restaurants on Sanjiao Street, No. 70, 74, and 76. We went to No. 76
We drove here from Guangdong and came to this Wenchang Chicken Restaurant. We chose the store in the middle that was recommended online. The taste was authentic and local. The Wenchang Chicken felt like it was right in the store. It was worth the trip.
