That sounds like a bunch of malarkey. I bet they brine that chicken in a salt/tenderizer brine overnight before they cook this dish.

 

 

You could be right. All I know is that the chickens served in Chinese restaurants don't look like supermarket chickens. 

For sure, the Chinese chicken farming practices are not like in France. Poulet de Bresse, amazing chickens. Poulet de Bresse farming is strictly controlled by the government.

 

I do remember when I was traveling in China having seen chickens force fed just like force feeding ducks  for foie gras.

 

If you go to a Chinese store, you will see more than one kind of chicken being sold.
