ROAST HAINANESE CHICKEN OR.....

was caught off guard with the "Sorry children," moment 😂😂😂 Anyway, the cooking process and ingredient prep shown here brings everything to the next level appreciation of both ingredients and the consumer.

Auntie Liz! We finally get to see you again! So happy to see you cooking on KZbinagain.

Never clicked on a video so fast. Auntie Liz dropping a new video is the event of the year, tbh

[@seminky5341]

Your life must be bland

[@awineandfoodnerd]

Welcome back! Thanks for these different ways to prepare chicken. And thank you also for the conversation whilst cleaning mushrooms about how the care that goes into all parts of the dish (especially the ones that can seem tedious and mind numbing) matter…as a fairly serious home cook, I’ve experienced this on both sides of the kitchen.

[@Sashanki]

Hopefully you have the time to post videos regularly. This was a delight to watch. Much love and welcome back!

[@shanechua8040]

Missing a non negotiable condiment to a Singaporean- the chilli garlic dip. Made by pounding a mix of fiery bird eye chilies, red chillies, salt and garlic to a fine paste, pour the hot rendered chicken fat to the mix to cook away the raw edges, dilute further with lime juice and chicken stock and adjust seasoning with salt if needed. That is an awesome condiment. PS: many Asians will also far prefer the legs and thighs of the chicken rather than the breast. And I am also team poached chicken rather than roast :)

[@ajjrez]

I would definitely go for the fried one. Also love seeing the passion when talking about preparing food and being able to tell when the person that made the dish cares.

[@MrJohnJames1988]

I worked in hospitality for 18 years, I also remember the feeling of doing the horrible, annoying, boring and tedious jobs and wondering what the point was but the feeling you get when you see what your hard work went into creating made it all worth it. Love the attitude Auntie Liz 😁

[@ismaela.6973]

I remember I had to rinse and dry every effin' lettuce for freaking six hours straight lol (I worked where we had to prep food for 100k people😅)

[@MrJohnJames1988]

@@ismaela.6973 I think one of the worst jobs I ever had to do was to clean baby squid, It absolutely stunk and it took me hours, I had to keep the ink sacs as well so I had to pick through a bucket of nasty bits after to cut them out 🤣

I'm glad Auntie Liz is back, even though I don't know anything about cooking. 😄

[@kantemirovskaya1lightninga30]

hey-give ANY of her recipes on youtube a try... watch 3-4 times get your ingredients ready and go for it. My family LOVES when I "Attempt" one of her dishes... NO LEFTOVERS!!!

[@josecaparroso577]

she is so perfect ....the passion, the knowledge...i just love her.

[@Ronin_Texas]

Auntie Liz is such a magnificent Chef. She should be promoted to Great Auntie.

[@HBMyt]

Fuyoii! Aunty Liz posted a new video! How close are you to opening the new Mei Mei location?

[@robertwayne352]

I'll admit, the Chicken Supreme is a slight favourite. It's the mushrooms! Delicious!

[@michaelgreer4790]

Great work, Chef. Can't wait to visit Mei Mei. Been on my restaurant dream sheet for ages.

[@spector969]

Auntie Liz has a Michelin star, and chilli jam Jamie Oliver doesn't (Yayeh!), yet somehow Jamie Oliver is more famous, the world is not fair.

[@omtakes]

Guga and Uncle Roger just watched Jamie do a steak video, where he change steaks multiple times, and Jamie doesnt even taste the steak! 😂😂😂 Some of these TV chefs are cringe.

[@CollideWithTheSlope]

Yayeh!

[@michael_janus]

What's not fair? Auntie Liz has 40 videos on her channel while Jamie Oliver has almost 2k of them. It's all about hard work.

[@spmn3170]

I think the cookbook fiasco and her handling of it by dissapearing without any mention of the situation kinda set her back a bit...unfortunately that loss took some of her followers too otherwise she was growing huge and probably would have her own tv show. Nonetheless I am glad she is back! I dont buy cook books and am here to see delicious food content cooked the way they should be without stupid alterations like Jamie Oliver.

[@gbc7344]

@@omtakesthat’s because it wasn’t Jamie Oliver in the video..they fukd up!

[@mckoiskiii]

i've been waiting for new uploads for a while. welcome back Auntie Liz 😄

[@venombreed01]

Such a refreshing style of cooking presentation, not pretentious at all. Just honest styles, I hope Uncle Roger appreciates the time you spent making this and would love to see how he manages a mahhoosive pot of oil like you! Thank you Liz, I hope you got to pick up your kids on time!

[@thekasperdarkfire]

Both dishes look absolutely delicious

[@mashoook]

Great to see you back Auntie Liz!!

[@YD180]

WOW chef! That was amazing. I loved everything from the technique to the way you expressed the passion for cooking.

[@AuntieLiz]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@Stick-a-fork-in-Gmorks-tort]

Great to see you've posted a new video. I love both versions. I'll take an order of both please.

[@danielchin8073]

Having a parent from the east and from the west also, I'd say the rice makes me feel like it's a midweek meal and the Western style feels more Sunday dinner. Would love be to try both.

[@rubenrodriguez2590]

Great video.... More more more...

[@variandavid377]

The roast chicken rice is the version I loved growing up and still love over the regular hainanese chicken rice! ❤❤

[@kantemirovskaya1lightninga30]

Chef Haigh, I am so glad you went back to the hairstyle I love it!! Am the cook at home-lived in 13 countries and like the food of all those places. I am weak in Asian stuff (Korea but only 1.5 years) so you help more than you know!

[@AuntieLiz]

Great to hear these videos are helping and you’re trying them at home. Keep it up and hope you enjoy the process.

[@reconeix]

You are such a fabulous teacher, Liz!

[@TraceyOfficial]

love this video and her sharing about the respect of the ingredient and the process etc.

[@vivianlaw13]

I'm so hungry after watching this... we live so far from any traditional Chinese food... definitely have to try this... Thank you for making this video...

Looks great Elizabeth. Hope a certain Malaysian food critic agress when he reviews it 😅 Will defo be coming soon for your Nasi Lemak as i am only round the corner in Lambeth.

[@DD-sr9xm]

Thanks Auntie Liz. I lived in Singapore on and off for 25 years (1986-1987, 1992-2002, 2012-2022) and love ALL the local food. Top two, pepper crab and roast chicken rice. But the trick with the chicken rice is you must go to an old style coffee shop (Chin Chin behind the Raffles is great and easy). You get the roast chicken (ask for boneless), the great rice, mix the chilli sauce with the sweet soy and minced ginger, spoon a bit on your rice, pop a nice bit of roast chicken dipped in the sauce on top and it’s glorious. Order the chilli garlic bean sprouts as a side. Have a water chestnut juice. Bring a packet of tissues, you’ll need them for your sweaty brow and to blow your nose from the chilli.

[@AuntieLiz]

Sound like a veteran in hawker

[@Backdaft94]

Glad to see Auntie Liz back

[@kevinfoo8031]

Only thing missing with the roast, ginger, garlic, shallots and hot oil poured over as a side flavour. Each to their own of course, and love her cooking passion.

[@jargarbo]

Ohhhh!i love the hainanese roasted chicken rice! Always loved it but cooking it at home is quite difficult as chicken is deep fried compared to the "steamed" chicken . Thanks auntie Liz!

[@zelwojtek]

Supreme chicken indeed 😍 Auntie Liz, Good to see you and Uncle Peanut Allergy Guy back on the KZbin.... 🎩

[@joshuanunez8397]

Auntie Liz I choose both, but I love food. Im in Arizona in America so I appericate this video because I have two new recipes.

Seeing just the few ingredients of the chicken rice... that has to be sooo good. 🤤 No need to apologize to the children for creating juicy uhh, we'll leave it at that. 🤣

[@karlosmitz3027]

Such amazing content !!!!

[@tkmwong020480]

When I eat Hainanese Chicken Rice, I like to order both, which means half Steam Boiled and Half Roasted. When You find a shop that does both right and most importantly does the Chillie Sauce and the Rice done right as well, then You have a dish that is so Fulfilling and won't get bored of eating it very often. 🤤😋

[@AuntieLiz]

Yes, heavenly

[@anthonyschofield900]

[@Thanat0s3166]

Love the video! For the Hainanese Chicken, do you baste once or several times?

[@AuntieLiz]

Make sure the skin is completely covered and then the drying process will let the flavour sink in.

[@BaldyMcBaldface]

Both dishes look absolutely amazing! I wish I lived closer so I could eat at Mei Mei! Any chance of opening a restaurant in Saskatchewan? 😂

[@BrazenNL]

I love Hainanese chicken rice, but I need the broth! So, in this case I'd go for the chicken with mushrooms. It looks very tasty!

Yes! Looks good. Gonna try poaching chicken because of this.

Amazing dishes. Both looked so tasty, though I'm a sucker for mushrooms so that first dish, I'd eat that 7 days a week. Also couldn't help but notice, chef got the eye colour of a perfectly cooked Peking duck (the colour of its skin, not the cooked ducks eyes).

Such a difference with good corn fed compared to the much cheaper bigger ones in supermarket, even the eggs taste so much better from owning hens.
