Try xiala, chicken heated through with local liquor

Villages along the Nujiang canyon

A Lisu and Nu dish for guests and cold nights: chicken fried hot in the pan, then doused with local liquor and warmed through. You eat the meat and sip the warm broth. Ask your guesthouse if they can make it.

What locals sayWarming and very local, but stronger than it looks, so treat it as a drink as much as a dish.
