San Bei Ji (Three Cup Chicken): a traditional Taiwanese dish

1.5 pounds of chicken (thighs, legs, whatever you want)
2 inches of ginger (peeled and sliced)
4 cloves garlic (sliced or chopped)
1/4 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup sesame oil
1/4 cup rice wine (available at Chinese grocery stores)
Chopped green onion
Fresh Basil leaves

Add some sesame oil to a large pot or wok and add chicken. Start to cook chicken for about 4 minutes. Add Ginger and Garlic to pot and cook for another 2 minutes. Add the three liquids and bring to a boil. Turn down heat and simmer for at least 20 minutes. Shortly before serving, add green onions and basil leaves. Serve with rice.
