Hainanese Chicken Rice


I would have never, never ever thought that I'll cook my own chicken rice a year ago; but now, I'm doing it. Followed the recipe in http://nasilemaklover.blogspot.com/2009/05/hainanese-chicken-rice.html. I didn't cook the whole chicken, first of, no skill to cut chicken; second, no pot to sustain a whole chicken; third, it's too much for my consumption.

So I used some chicken drumsticks and chicken breast combo instead. Due to the fact that my chicken rice shared partner is not skillful in eating chicken with bone, I have to de-boned the chicken drumstick. De-boned chicken definitely helps later eating but do wear plastic or use some tools to hold the chicken, else you might burn yourself, I did :(

The chicken is smooth and tender, and I added a small knob of butter when cooking the rice (on top of what's required in the recipe), the rice was great! Not forgetting the highlight, chili dipping sauce. The chili and rice was so good that I just have to cook chicken rice again. But this time, to save my trouble, I grill the chicken instead. Both works perfectly fine :)
