Sesame Wine Chicken
Sesame wine chicken (台式麻油雞) is an unforgettable dish I tried at the night markets of Taiwan. This is a homely Taiwanese style of sesame wine chicken and it requires only a few ingredients.

Compared to our local home-style sesame chicken, the Taiwanese version is more soupy since the chicken pieces are simmered in rice wine. This is perfect comfort food for colder weather or (in SG context the rainy season), since this dish is warming. Do use the freshest ginger and sesame oil (100% pure and not rancid) you can find to cook this dish.
Women on confinement (the one-month period after giving birth) will love this dish with extra ginger, extra wine and extra sesame oil since they need extra warming food after child birth. If this is too “heaty” for you, just reduce the ginger and sesame oil accordingly.
I usually serve it as a one-dish meal with mee sua (wheat flour vermicelli) or as a side dish with rice.
Updated: Rice wine I used for this dish
Very nutritious and delicious!
Yes, this is my kind of comfort soup…I have never made it myself, always enjoy when my mom makes it…thanks for the recipe Wiffy…looks delicious!
Hope you are having a wonderful week :)
Mee sua with sesame wine chicken sounds good. But it is hot and not rainy here, right now. :( Shd be warming good for the cooler season
Back in SG? Luckily I cooked this during that short rainy week here. It’s too hot now :O
For the rice wine, what kind of wine is it? Can I use huadiao wine?
Sorry I mean can use shaoxing wine?
Yes, you can. But I will use less than the recipe indicated as it has a stronger flavour. I updated the recipe with the rice wine I used.
