The brand name "Taiwan Golden Chicken" doesn't actually refer to a specific breed, but rather a range of chicken products slaughtered by members of the Taiwan Poultry Processing Association (TPAA), and then CAS certified. The brand accounts for 90 % of the battery-farmed chicken in Taiwan and 10 % of the free-range chicken.
所謂「台灣黃金雞」，指的不是雞的品種，而是台灣區電動屠宰公會會員廠所供應、具有 CAS 優良肉品認證的白肉雞、土雞、烏骨雞…… 等各式國產雞，含括了全國 9 成的白肉雞和一成的有色雞。
