Three Cup Chicken is a flavorful, savory dish that's always a hit at the dinner table—my family loves it too! The 'three cups' refer to equal parts sesame oil, soy sauce, and rice wine. You can adjust the ingredients to your liking—besides chicken, you can use seafood or even vegetables. This delicious, rice-friendly dish is dedicated to all my friends—let's enjoy it while it's hot!

I replaced part of the soy sauce with oyster sauce for better flavor, color, and thickness. If you find the sesame oil too much or too oily, feel free to adjust the amount to your preference. Give it a try if you like!
