In a large claypot or heavy-based pot with a lid (cast iron dutch ovens are ideal if you don’t have a claypot), place the chicken, mushrooms, sausage, garlic, ginger and rice. Mix until well combined. Add the chicken stock, Chinese wine and honey and stir until mixed thoroughly. Cover and place over a high heat and bring to a simmer.
