The researchers tested different ways to cook Wuhua three-yellow chickens to find the best method. They tried steaming, salt baking in a pressure cooker, and traditional salt baking in a pot. They found that the time the chicken is marinated and baked affects how it tastes. The best results came from marinating for 60 minutes and baking for specific times depending on the method used. The traditional salt baking in a pot produced the highest quality chicken.
