San Bei Ji, or “Three-Cup Chicken,” is a fragrant stir-fry made by simmering bone-in chicken pieces with equal parts of soy sauce, rice wine, and sesame oil, along with plenty of garlic, ginger, and fresh basil leaves. Native to Taiwan, particularly associated with Chiayi and central Taiwan, this dish is cooked in a clay pot or wok until the sauce reduces and coats the chicken with a glossy, caramelized glaze. San Bei Ji is bold, aromatic, and traditionally served sizzling hot with a bowl of white rice.

Common variations include the use of chilies, mushrooms, or boneless cuts for convenience.
