Three Cup Chicken
Overview
Since it is called Three Cup Chicken, as the name suggests, it is made with chicken cooked with three cups of different sauces (peanut oil, light soy sauce, beer). Beer and rice wine are both acceptable. The taste will be slightly different, depending on personal preference. One feature of this dish is that no water is added during the cooking process. Three cups is the amount for the whole chicken. If you make it yourself, add it according to the amount... This time I used whole chicken wings. I feel that the meat of the chicken wings is more delicious than the meat of the chicken body. I don’t know if this method is authentic, but the finished product is beautiful in color, tastes good, tender and juicy
