A popular Chinese dish of chicken wings braised in a rich sauce, no two households make this dish the exact same way. The name “3 Cup Chicken” refers to a cup each of the 3 ingredients that traditionally create the sauce: rice wine, soy sauce, and sesame oil. You’ll notice that our version doesn’t exactly use 3 whole cups of anything (that recipe must have been for a boatload of chicken). It’s scaled down, but full of flavor.
