Three-cup chicken is one of the best-known dishes of Jiangxi cuisine and a specialty of Ningdu, where the population is Hakka. It was introduced to Taiwan by Hakka people and is especially popular there. One legend ties the dish to the Song dynasty hero Wen Tianxiang. The Taiwan version has a simpler flavor and is not spicy. The chicken is cooked in an earthenware pot on high heat, then on low heat until the sauces are absorbed.
