Three cups of chicken was originally a famous dish in Jiangxi. It was named after the seasonings used: a cup of rice wine, a cup of lard, and a cup of soy sauce. In Taiwan’s Three Cup Chicken, lard is replaced with light cooking oil. My principle is that the more classic dishes, the more interesting you can make them yourself.

Taiwanese Three Cup Chicken

1. The main materials are available.

2. Cut the chicken legs into pieces, slice the red hot pepper into horse-ear shape, shred the green onion, slice the ginger and garlic, pick the leaves and wash the nine-layer pagoda.

3. Boil the chicken thighs in a pot of boiling water and remove them for later use.

4. Heat the bottom oil in the pot and add the ginger slices.

5. Then add the shredded green onion, garlic slices, and stir-fry the red hot pepper.

6. Turn to high heat and stir fry the chicken thigh pieces.

7. Add rice wine, light soy sauce, and dark soy sauce to taste.

8. Add rock sugar, stir fry, simmer over high heat, collect the juice and sprinkle into the nine-layer tower, turn it over and start the pot.

Tips:
1. Do not add water to the three-cup chicken during the cooking process, otherwise the freshness of the chicken itself will be reduced.
2. If you can use Taiwanese rice wine, it is best, if not, ordinary glutinous rice is also fine.
