"Three cup chicken is a Taiwanese classic that Sapp executes correctly — basil, sesame oil, soy, and chicken cooked until the liquid reduces to a glaze. The garlic is added whole and blistered. The dish is served at the table with the steam still rising. This is comfort food with a specific regional address."

"The three cup ratio is chicken to sauce is roughly 2:1 — enough sauce to coat the meat but not enough to drown it. The basil is Thai holy basil, which has a more aggressive flavor than Italian basil. The dish arrives in a clay pot that keeps it hot. This is the kind of dish that requires eating immediately."
