Legend has it that the dish was created by accident.During the Emperor Kangxi"s reign in the 18th century,a restaurant owner called Jia Jiancai created this unique dish.One day, Jia had to run an errand,and asked his apprentice to take care of the pot in the kitchen.The apprentice had fell asleep while waiting for his master.When Jia came back,the chicken was overcooked.

However,he sold out the chicken and surprisingly found that the customers loved it.Overcooking the chicken had made the bones chewier and the meat tastier.It was lustrous with golden yellow skins and was juicy with tender meat.With the continuous improvement of the recipe,Dezhou BraisedChicken had become more and more delicious and popular.

熟爛軟嫩，鹵香悠長，被稱為“天下第一雞”的德州扒雞，是德州人從小吃到大的“鄉味”。300多年的歷史、數道工序、十幾種調料就是一只雞的排場。

但誰又能想到：這種美味竟源于一個失誤！據傳，在18世紀康熙在位年間，一個叫賈健才的店主首創這種獨特的扒雞。一天，賈店主要外出辦事，吩咐自己的伙計掌握好燒雞的火候。結果伙計在等待老板的時候不小心睡著了。等賈老板回來后，燒雞早已過了出鍋的時間。他最后還是將雞肉賣出去了，卻發現這口味竟大受歡迎。原來延長制作的時間會讓雞肉熟爛脫骨、更加入味。成品色澤金黃，鮮嫩可口。隨著技術的不斷改進，德州扒雞更加可口，受到了廣大食客的喜愛。
