Chicken fat yellow, also known as "royal yellow" in China, is crystal-clear and moist just like being soaked by butter. As the ingredients used to make it are expensive, so far only a few people have mastered the formula. During the firing process, the duration and degree of heating must be precisely controlled to fix the color instantly. This is the reason why today it is still impossible to produce chicken fat yellow in large quantities.
