Three-Cup Chicken image

This is a traditional Taiwanese dish that we always order in our favorite Chinese restaurant. I begged the chef for this recipe and he very reluctantly gave it to me! I just made it for dinner tonight and couldn't wait to post this to share it with all of you!

This recipe failed completely. The chicken was overcooked and the sauce was bland.

The chicken was a bit dry, but the sauce was delicious. I'll try it again with a different cut of chicken.

I've made this dish several times and it's always a crowd-pleaser. The chicken is always moist and juicy, and the sauce is delicious.

This recipe was easy to follow and the chicken came out so tender and flavorful. I served it with rice and vegetables and it was a hit with my family.
