Three-Cup Chicken

Great dish! I loved the flavor of the sauce and it involved very little hands-on cooking time. I'd make some changes next time — the dish was extremely spicy, so I'd leave the seeds in only one pepper, and the chicken was overcooked, so I think I'll cook the chicken in the sauce instead of cooking it before adding the sauce. Thanks for such a yummy recipe!

I used this recipe as an inspiration and it turned out that this recipe is a very good basic one when you can change amount of some ingredients without sacrificing a taste I used the whole chicken (big, 1,2 kg, cut into small pieces), less garlic (around 6 gloves), less sugar (just 1 teaspoon, and it was sweet enough for my taste), no peppers at all (didn't have any), less soy sauce and rice wine (but I followed the proportion), almost no basil and it was sooo tasteful!..My all family loved this recipe for its taste and I loved it for its simplicity as well!.. One of the best in my collection here.

A Ten Star recipe! Outstanding flavor, spicyness and tenderness-can't say enough good things about this entree. Only change I would make next time is to double or triple the sauce. Don't know what oriental basil is so I used fresh chopped ordinary basil. Probably not anything alike but who cares? It was a wonderful meal!!
