Easy “Three Cup Chicken” (三杯鸡) Recipe

三杯鸡, “three cups chicken,” is a Taiwanese that, like most Taiwanese dishes, has roots in China. The tender, pungent chicken has its roots in the Song Dynasty, when a hero, Wen Tianxiang, had pieces of chicken braised in oil, rice wine, and soy sauce for his last supper. It is easy to make, delicious, and I hope you like it!

    When I saw that the title said, “Three Cup Chicken,” I wasn’t sure what to expect because I always knew this dish by its Chinese name! I agree when you say that the chicken is pungent because it definitely has a complicated and tasty flavor. Thank you for the tip at the end to add water if too strong or cook longer for a stronger flavor.

    Thanks for sharing this dish. Your introduction to the dish, such as the history with Wen Tianxiang was very interesting and informative. It was also interesting to see how the hero had pieces of the chicken braised in many different sauces for his last mean.
