Hi friends! We recently had three-cup chicken flavored hot pot at a restaurant called Boiling Point. My husband loved the flavor of three-cup chicken and he mentioned how it reminded him of one of his favorite Filipino dishes, chicken adobo. I did some research and played around with some flavor combinations and came up with a super easy claypot Taiwanese Three-Cup Chicken recuoe to make at home. Now, don't worry if you do not have a claypot at home. You can use a wok (which will give the dish a bit more wok-hei or a frying pan, and of course you can bake the chicken as well! Experiment with a three-cup chicken dish to call your own, and happy cooking!
PS: This dish is called three-cup chicken because of its three main ingredients and their matching ratios: sesame oil, Shaoxing wine, and soy sauce. Fret not; we will not be using cups for each of these ingredients.
Enjoy this dish with a hot bowl of white rice, or as a banh mi! Wedge it inside a buttered and toasted baguette and thank me later!

Notes
To bake the chicken: Add all the ingredients in a baking dish and bake for about 18 minutes at 420F.
If using a wok or frying pan, heat the wok or pan until smoke point before adding the sesame oil. Then add the aromatics (garlic and ginger). Once the garlic is golden, add the chicken and cook over medium-high to high until both sides are golden brown. Keep stir frying to ensure the chicken is cooked. Lower the heat to medium and add the sauce. Stir fry for a about a minute before removing from heat and serving hot.
If ingredients are sticking to the wok or pan, deglaze with a splash of Shaoxing wine.
