Three-Cup Stone Chicken

　　Three-Cup Stone Chicken is a traditional local dish from Mount Lu. It gets its name because it is cooked without adding any water, using only three cups of seasonings to braise the chicken until it is tender and fully cooked. The dish has a rich reddish-brown color, authentic flavor, and a strong aroma that pairs well with both wine and rice. Rich in protein, fat, carbohydrates, inorganic salts, vitamins, and more, it helps nourish stomach qi, nourish yin, reduce internal heat, promote urination, and reduce swelling. It is especially beneficial for those suffering from yin deficiency with excessive internal heat or edema.
