Hainanese Chicken Rice Recipe

🔪 BROWSE MY KITCHENWARE - ❤️ SUPPORT ME ON PATREON - 🥢PRINTABLE RECIPE - Hainanese chicken (海南鸡饭)is a dish that dedicates to the tenderest and silkiest chicken. It sounds like one dish, but it is a complete meal as it includes chicken, rice, soup, and a few dipping sauces. Although it is popular Singapore food, the prototype is a dish called Weng Chang Ji (文昌鸡) in Hainan, China. Wen Chang Ji is a special breed of chicken, which is organically raised and freshly slaughtered right before cooking. So the chicken itself is fatty and flavorful. The chicken skin is bright yellow when cooked, and it has a rich buttery taste - so delicious. The chicken in the USA is less fatty and light in taste. I recommend using organic chicken for a better taste.
