This is a modified (to use a slow cooker) Cantonese version of Taiwanese 3 Cup Chicken, and is tasty. The Hainan version is whole chicken cooked in chicken stock, pork stock, and soy sauce. This is normally made with whole plump chickens and once they have cooled completely, they are simply chopped. This recipe will use wings, drummettes (called wing sticks in Thailand) and middle wing sections (called middle wing sticks in Thailand) cooked in a slow cooker.
