Air-dried chicken smells very spicy.

Air-dried chicken has a pungent smell, mainly due to improper handling during processing. When processing air-dried chicken, too little salt and white wine are put. If the weather is not very cold and there is no strong wind, it will not dry thoroughly and produce a pungent smell.

Air-dried chicken, also known as Liu Huangshu Pozi chicken, is a traditional dish in Shilipu Town, Shayang County, Jingmen City, Hubei Province.
