【Yunyun Little Chef】Three Cups of Chicken

Overview

Three Cup Chicken is a must-order dish when I go to Taiwan or a Taiwanese restaurant. In fact, three-cup chicken did not originate in Taiwan, but is a famous Han dish originating from Jiangxi. Three Cup Chicken spread to Taiwan. The Taiwanese have made a slight modification to it, replacing the greasy lard with light cooking oil, and adding a unique spice - nine-story pagoda, to enhance the flavor. This dish is also a regular on my family’s dining table. The ingredients are very simple. You can use a whole native chicken, chicken legs or wings. The nine-story pagoda added at the end is also easy to buy now, so I will make it when I want to eat it.
