Discover our Drooling Chicken (口水鸡), a beloved Szechuan appetizer featuring half a free-range chicken served cold and drenched in a rich, spicy, numbing sauce made with chili oil, Szechuan peppercorns, and aromatic seasonings. This crowd favourite at Spicy Wok Szechuan Cuisine is so delicious, it will literally make your mouth water.
Drooling Chicken (口水鸡), named because the dish is so flavourful it makes you drool just thinking about it, is a classic Szechuan cold dish. At Spicy Wok Szechuan Cuisine in Ranchlands, Calgary, we poach free-range chicken until perfectly tender, then chill it to achieve the ideal silky texture before dressing it in our signature sauce.
The sauce is where the magic happens — a complex blend of chili oil, soy sauce, black vinegar, Szechuan peppercorn oil, garlic, and crushed peanuts. Each bite delivers a wave of flavours: spicy, numbing, savoury, tangy, and nutty all at once. It is the perfect starter to any Szechuan meal and one of our most reviewed dishes.
