Sanbei chicken is a traditional and famous dish in Ningdu, Jiangxi Province. Its origin is related to the national hero Wen Tianxiang. At the end of the Southern Song Dynasty, the national hero Wen Tianxiang (from Jishui, Jiangxi) was captured against the Yuan Dynasty, and the broad masses of the people were very sad. One day, an elderly woman in her seventies, holding a crutch and carrying a bamboo basket containing a chicken and a pot of wine, came to the prison where Wen Tianxiang was detained to pay homage to Wen Tianxiang. The old lady unexpectedly saw Wen Tianxiang, and she was filled with sorrow and joy. It turned out that Wen Tianxiang had been killed and she came to sacrifice Prime Minister Wen. Seeing that Prime Minister Wen was still alive, she regretted not bringing a cooked chicken, so she had to ask the jailer for help. The jailer was originally from Jiangxi, and he admired Wen Tianxiang very much. The old woman's words and deeds deeply moved him. Thinking that Wen Tianxiang would be killed tomorrow, I was very sad, so I decided to use the old lady's chicken and wine to make a decent dish for Wen Tianxiang to show my admiration. So he and the old lady slaughtered the chicken, cleaned it up, cut it into pieces, found a earthen bowl, put the chicken pieces into the bowl, poured rice wine, added some salt, and filled it into seasoning and soup. Use a few bricks to set up the earthen bowl, simmer the chicken over low heat. Two hours later, they took off the cover and saw that the chicken was crispy and fragrant. The two of them cried and brought the chicken to Wen Tianxiang. Prime Minister Wen drank soup and ate chicken, harboring hatred for subjugation, and sang generously. The next day, Wen Tianxiang faced death unafraid and died heroically. This day was the ninth day of December.
Later, the jailer returned to his hometown of Jiangxi from Dadu. On the ninth day of December, he would stew chicken with three cups of wine to pay homage to Wen Tianxiang. Therefore, the food was delicious and spread in Jiangxi. Gradually becoming a famous dish, many large hotels and small restaurants have slightly changed the three cups of chicken in order to improve the taste: one cup of sweet wine, one cup of soy sauce, and one cup of sesame oil. Pour these three cups of seasoning and chicken nuggets into a sand bowl, then add a little cold water, and heat and simmer slowly until the meat is rotten. It has full color, aroma, and is extremely delicious.
The three-cup chicken I introduce to you today was a modified version after it came to Taiwan, but it is still very delicious. It is still made from a cup of sweet wine, a cup of soy sauce, and a cup of sesame oil. Look at the delicious taste on the table.
