Three Cup Chicken is a traditional Taiwanese dish called San Bei Ji. It is bone-in chicken simmered in the most flavorful aromatic sauce. The key ingredients include soy sauce, Shaoxing wine (rice wine), and sesame oil. Aromatics like ginger, garlic, and Sweet Thai Basil leaves make this dish special. You have to make this ultra-comforting meal. It is one of my favorites.
