Chinese province Henan was until recently a non-player in the city’s regional-Chinese-food scene, but now it seems Henan Feng Wei and its spinoff, He Nan Flavor, are not your only source for spicy big-tray chicken. That regional delicacy, bone-in chicken chunks swimming in a fiery, caraway- and Sichuan-peppercorn-studded broth, is available at newcomer Uncle Zhou, reports CHOW, as are the province’s signature knife-sliced fresh noodles.
