This is because chicken is virtually omnipresent--whole chickens are used in religious festivals; pieces are used in traditional medicines; roast, fried, and salted chicken are common snacks from street vendors; and the average dinner table frequently plays host to chicken, including sesame oil chicken, chicken with pineapple and bitter melon, three-cup chicken, and chopped cold chicken.
因為雞肉幾乎無所不在，祭祖拜拜要用全雞；燉補、入藥要用雞；烤雞、炸雞、鹽酥雞等街頭小吃隨處可見；平日居家料理也少不了雞，餐桌上經常可見麻油雞、鳳梨苦瓜雞、三杯雞、白斬雞…… 的蹤影。
