I'm Hainanese and this is the correct way to make Hainanese chicken, just like we do it here. Thumbs up!

[@elaminmochichi7767]

@Jhalmuriম্যাটার Yes you can, add your own style to the mix.

Yeaaay with OLIVE OIL????

[@CynthaTauwnaar]

I made this dish and could not stop eating. I recommended it to all my friends who appreciate honest and pure food. Thank you so much for sharing this.

[@lepetitchat123]

How can it be honest when the chicken was tortured and slaughtered for your tastebuds?

[@Belle1900]

I've made this recipe about six times so far in the last couple of months and it turns out WONDERFUL every time! Only thing different I do is add a little soy sauce to chopped green onion and sesame seed oil and mix that with the chicken after it's cooked and cut into pieces. Thank you for this video, Angel!

[@jiteshwatwani23]

I've made this some 10 times and it's been a hit each time. Thank you Angel. I don't care where its from, it's hainanese Chicken rice for me and I love it.

[@perseuswong6864]

It must drive the native Hainanese crazy that the world thinks the dish is authentic Hainan but I'm not complaining. I LOVE the Singapore version of this and your very easy to follow recipe. Thanks!

[@deed8551]

I don't know how I came to this KZbin ...but I was rooted to her calming voice.

[@baqikenny]

Hainanese native here, I like your style, time-saving for a busy household and also looks appetizing, just like what my mom sometimes make at home. I understand that some people are into the traditional style, but there are multiple traditional styles adapted into different regions of south-east Asia for years already, even though the name says its birth place, but even within Hainan island, you can find various styles across east to west sides. Though the most famous style would consider being from the Wenchang City (my hometown) which is probably the one brought to Malaysia and Singapore and other SE Asian countries by Wenchang immigrants during really early days, but I still encourage people to respect each other as well as the difference in taste acceptance for various regions, because acceptance probably means a lot to the local customs for the people in different areas.

[@gohchoohockjenny3541]

我，

[@mabmainchannel]

Thanks for giving these details and this perspective! I see so many comments across the Hainan Chicken Recipe videos of how these recipes are “not authentic” without considering the various styles / variations across regions.

[@boomboomkawabanga]

Chill bro, it's chicken rice...

[@Ka1liNg]

Hi Angel, to make the chicken more fragrant, you may want to stuff the chicken cavity with the aromatics instead: 2 whole stalks of spring onion (bend it and stuff into the cavity, don't chop it), ginger slices, garlic (unpeeled, bruised). For the rice, you can snip off the excess fat from the chicken, and use it to sautee shallots and stir fry the washed rice for a while before putting it into the rice cooker. this will make it more fragrant with the chicken oil coated on the grains.

[@wongrandall1641]

Amy Foo , Hainanese Chicken Rice is Singapore's national dish.

[@baqikenny]

Amy Foo You are right haha, my mom makes it every month! (hainanese native in canada here)

[@justinbang965]

[@asianangler]

[@renaambat1327]

[@lomaluv1590]

I'm totally going to make this. Thank you!

[@chillpalz4987]

I like that you simplify it. Great. Not like other recipes with a hundred steps and a hundred ingredients. anyway, just 1 thing missing to make this a complete wholesome meal. The cucumbers. You forgot that. I will go berserk if my chicken rice i eat outside does not come with cucumbers. hehe. cheers.

[@purrdeepluzz]

Definitely need to try this recipe. Thanks for sharing. All of your videos are extremely well made and a joy to watch. Keep up the great work!

[@alliemollie]

You're such a great cook. I've been learning a lot from your videos. You make things simple and easy!

[@triciabuenaluz6438]

I have been making this dish twice a month since I saw your video 4 yrs ago. My family loves it! Thanks much!

[@SumantBarooah]

What a clean elegant way of Hainanese Chicken rice. Loved it Thank you

[@xxsimleyfacexx]

i love your recipes ! I am from Hainan, and my grandma makes this all the time, it's one of my fav dishes! Tip: my grandma usually fry the rice in a heated pan with a little bit of oil prior to cooking it the rice cooker, it really helps bring out the aroma of the rice!

[@laaung558]

Bullshit this dishes not from Hainan it's from Singapore and Malaysia only

[@freaknutt33]

La Aung If it’s not from Hainan, then why is it called Hainanese chicken?? Shouldn’t it be called Singapore or Malaysian chicken? Lol

[@xxsimleyfacexx]

La Aung originated in Hainan, popularized in Singapore.

[@andyhooutdoors]

La Aung I just saw your comment. It is called Wen Chang Ji (文昌鸡) in Hainan. Singapore and Malaysia did not invent this dish, and I am Singaporean.

[@xxsimleyfacexx]

Andy Ho Outdoors lol wen cheng ji is another dish

[@oxford1603]

Looks very yummy. Thank you for posting.

Love this recipe. So delicious!! My go to recipe almost every week. Yum Yum

[@neetuswati]

thanks for sharing the recipe

[@Vancelvany]

This is great, really home made :) Although there are some slight variations, for instance, some use an additional set of onions when boiling and the recipe I was taught was to give the chicken an ice bath or splurge in cold running water after boiling before cutting and serving. (Garnished of course with green onions and complimentary soy sauce) PS:The rice can also be cooked with the chicken broth from the boiled chicken instead for some home cooking efficiency and guaranteed flavor :)

[@momon8738]

I love Hainanese chicken rice. Well, before I didn't really like it but not hate it too, but since my recent trip to Malaysia, there I decided to eat chicken rice because I'm not sure what to eat besides that, and that chicken rice really left me a mark. Then I tried to study and experiment the ingredients for the chicken rice and study the characteristics of the spices which being used there. . After looking for so many recipes (around 40different recipes I guess) and from my tongue memory, here is what I got.. 1. Remove excess fat from your chicken, use it later on 2. Rub your chicken with salt. Rubbing salt to your chicken will drain out moistures from the chicken. Be careful not to leave your chicken with salt for too long or it will be dried out 3. Insert salt and spices like ginger, garlic, scallion into the cavity of the chicken 4. Pour cold water into the pan and put the chicken and add coconut water(not too much remember) If you put the chicken into the already boiled water, it won't be cooked evenly. The coconut water will give you a fragrant feeling from your dish. But if you use it too much, the fragrant may overcome the other taste and make your food very a little bit oily. 5. When the water starts to boil, take your chicken and put it back so the water inside which is still colder than the outer will dissolved. Do it for a few times 6. After about 30minutes, according to your chicken, take your chicken out. You may cool it down with ice water to stop chicken to cook by its remaining heat. If your chicken is overcooked, the meat will be tougher 7. Take your chicken fat, you may stir fried it a bit with ginger and sesame oil to add more taste. I read about people sometimes also stir-fry the rice grain too, but well I haven't try this yet and tbh I'm not so sure that this will suit my personal taste too. 8. Add your previously made chicken broth (of course you may use pre-prepared chicken stock), chicken fat, more coconut water, pandan leaves, ginger, and lemongrass. Beware, adding chicken fat will result in your rice will be a little bit thicker. If you aim more fresh taste from the rice, you may skip the stir-frying process or just skip the chicken fat. You may add sesame oil too here if you didn't use the fat for the rice. If you use some chicken bone or else, you may check your rice for a few times since it may be soggy because of the bone. Check it and remove the sog. 9. Rub your chicken with sesame oil 10. Prepare the sauce of your choice. For me, a spicy and sour sauce is the best. So I chop chilli and scallion then add lime water and sesame oil. Add salt if you want. If you have time, however, you may pickle your chilli and lime/vinegar mixture. Of course you may make the other dipping saunce like chilli paste, ginger, etc. 11. Pour light soy sauce to your chicken alongside more sesame oil if you want. Don't forget to slice cucumber too. . I like it fresh and light, so I love to add cucumber and a spicy and sour sauce. I quite avoid adding onion and shallot (I read a few recipes adding that, well that was strange maybe) bcs I think, with more shallot and onion will add more taste to the chicken and rice so the fresh, light, and simple taste were ruined. There are many alternatives to be added to the method of your cooking, sauce, etc. Do what you like. . Anyway, enjoy. Please comment if you have suggestions about what to do, what to add, or even what to remove. I love to learn a new recipe bcs for my own perspective, I cook what I think the best taste, not the original :)

I am a pure hainanese. My mum fried the rice with oil from chicken skin and some minced garlic, ginger before cooking it in rice cooker with chicken stock. Chicken can be steam or blanch. Steaming is better and tastier.
