Bloody excellent recipe. Totally authentic and you'll have enough for 4/5 hungry people. 10/10

[@kelopai7042]

I remember eating this almost everyday in Singapore, I missed it so much I wanted to learn how to make it myself, thank you so much for your recipe this has now become a favorite meal in my home that I cook quite often so yummy

[@gauthampalaniandy5865]

The way he smashed that ginger earned him a sub 😲

[@SchoolofWok]

The ginger always flys out from the board and hits us when we're filming - Lee

[@carolynmickel8282]

We watched this video yesterday(hubby and I) and were intrigued so today we made it for dinner--FABULOUS!!! I must have watched the video 7-8 times just to be sure I didn't screw something up, between the condiments to the poached chicken and just like clockwork it wowed everyone who ate it!! Thank you Jeremy for another great tutorial and recipe..and everyone else at School of Wok. I have learned so much from all of these videos :)

[@SchoolofWok]

Fantastic, so glad you enjoyed the recipe! - Lee

[@anavelilla4483]

I've been looking for this recipe , so far I think this is the best and easiest way to cook hainanese chicken thank you.

[@SchoolofWok]

Thanks! - Lee

[@jimqartworks]

ooh I miss this food, I also live and worked in Singapore from 1990-1999, yes almost 10 years, my children born and grew up there, from East Coast Rd, to Geylang, to McPherson Rd and Genting Lane, miss the smell, the noise ahhh yes the food, from Nasi Lemak, Chicken rice, Char Kwe Teow, Hor Fun, rojak, Pratha, etc..... love your videos, learning a lot from you, keep on creating!!! Cheers, shout out from California!

[@SchoolofWok]

Thank you! I'm glad you are learning from us! - Lee

[@mattiaslindgren8154]

Yeah, this took us way back to Singapore! The combination of flavours was exactly what we looked for. We only substituted the chili sauce to home made sambal from Sumatra :)

[@SchoolofWok]

I'm glad you enjoyed it! - Lee

[@daze1945]

"Bash your ginger!" I'm glad you put that into context. Great video! 😎

[@SchoolofWok]

Hahaha, thanks! - Lee

[@zzak4719]

yeah, me too! my mouth is watering. thank you for sharing 😃

[@SchoolofWok]

You're welcome! - Lee

[@sellingtowinselling3876]

Made this yesterday.i had 4 chicken breast in the fridge so used them.absolutely brilliant.just banged microwave rice in 2 mins poured a bit of the stock on and bingo.thankyou for this one healthy eating .the stock made a lovely light soup just skimmed the fat off it .cheers

[@80stime]

Love this style of chicken, especially with the dipping sauce. It’s so tasty. Thank you

[@SchoolofWok]

One of my favourites! - Lee

[@jianfabentsai2438]

One of the best chicken deboning technique I have seen on KZbin. I also like how you colour coordinated the green cucumbers alternate with red chilli followed by green yellow spring onions and ginger oil. Well done.

[@unstoppablezone4980]

I made this today. I put too much stock into the chile sauce and it came out a bit watery....so I threw in more chilies. Next time I will watch out for this. Looking forward to a great dinner tonight! :) thank you!

[@rj1000]

You’ve missed the soya/oyster/sesame oil sauce combination lightly drizzled over the chicken.

[@MsRwong]

R J - it’s a sweet soya sauce - not oyster sauce. The drizzle is upto the individual, just as the ginger garlic & chili sauce.

[@MManisha]

Such a beautiful dish. And a wonderful lesson on chicken carving. Love your videos, own your stuff. Thank you for making us better cooks!

[@SchoolofWok]

Our pleasure! - Lee

[@fdc2023]

Such a clean, healthy and flavoursome dish. Who’s hungry 😋

[@SchoolofWok]

Very delicious recipe!

[@longhua19]

Nice for sharing

[@SchoolofWok]

Thanks! - Lee

[@tevvvy687]

Total 📼🎬🎥abit draggy....and Virtual deliciousness😋i give a 7/10. 😉

[@jillianmichaelblackie]

I have made this dish many times. It’s the ultimate comfort food!

[@comesahorseman]

Save that poaching liquid! You have made a double chicken stock that's pure gold for lots of recipes!

[@SchoolofWok]

The liquid is full of flavour! - Lee

[@comesahorseman]

@Alter Ego check the recipe link; adding a stock cube to the poaching liquid before simmering the bird creates a double (strength) stock.

[@JS-gk9et]

I’m thinking I could adapt the chicken part to an Instant Pot process, as I don’t usually have the longer time for the boil and simmer (which is why I love cooking with a wok). Probably 15-17 minutes that way. I would miss out on the stock added to the rice - need to have other stock. Love the sides/condiments in this recipe. That really makes this one fun.

[@SchoolofWok]

The condiments are really fantastic in this dish! If you ever find the time to make this meal, I would highly recommend it. It was simply delicious! - Lee

[@harpazomaranatha1357]

I followed this recipe and everybody in my family loved it. The only thing I didn’t do was the chilli sauce because I already had one bottle bought from the supermarket. Thank you Jeremy!

[@martinj1204]

wow! Jeremy you just recplicated my number one chinese dish and singaopre's national dish! thanks for this glorious looking hainanese recipe. I will use the same method as you to boil the whole bird. By the way you just gave it away on 10:06 where you mentioned HOT OIL! This should be on your to make list although it's not a food it's a condiment i can't live without! I want to have your version of it as authentic as possible Please make it!

[@SchoolofWok]

Hi Szy Szy, sorry your comment was held for review for some reason and I've only just seen it! We're glad you enjoyed the video! I'll put the idea forward to make a hot oil video for you! - Lee

[@LitaKingsley]

I'm addicted to your teaching.. can't stop watching... excellent teaching..

[@SchoolofWok]

Thank you! - Lee

[@richbarrlo]

Jeremy THANK YOU SO MUCH for the excellent tutorial videos. I’ve love Chinese food my whole life and always wanted to learn how to cook it better. I LOVE THESE YOUR VIDEOS. As a humorous side note. Being from the US I’m used to seeing Asian-Americans with an American accent. But It’s fun to see you with your British accent. So cheers to you. Chef Richie.

[@SchoolofWok]

Thank you, Richie! Glad to hear you're enjoying our content! - Lee

[@เคียวนี่ไคบิคเคล]

Me too, eventhough we have used American accent everyday, I like his British accent. It is his charming . Although we lived in Thailand where there are a land of spices and herbs, I still love Chinese food and watch his video about trick and tip's tutorial video and follow his cooking method. Then I adapted his food to my son's taste. He enjoys your food...Thanks Jeremy from Keo's mom

[@SchoolofWok]

Thank you!

[@christienatasha1398]

[@SchoolofWok]

Haha, no problem! - Lee

[@juvysmith5007]

Wow VERYVERY delicious. Thank you for sharing, greatly appreciated xxx

[@AngelineGeorge-r2p]

Good job Jeremy. I like your style of chicken rice. Going to make it tomorow for lunch . Thanks si much!

[@namienamie2167]

In the Caribbean, some people cook using chicken fat and it adds a different flavor to the dish. With so many concerns about cholesterol, this way of cooking is less frequent. I absolutely love curry chicken that's sauteed in chicken fat then stewed.

[@SchoolofWok]

There's so much flavour in chicken fat! - Lee

[@jadeethan]

This video was so relaxing to watch!! wow!!

[@SchoolofWok]

Thanks!

[@democlips1]

Oooh, we’re getting to Singapore now!! Enjoyed the Cili Crab yesterday, and Hainanese Chicken Rice is my second favorite Singapore dish!! I’ve alteady learned so much from you. Keep ‘m coming, and many thanks!

[@SchoolofWok]

Glad you're enjoying the videos!

[@krizdeep]

Hainanese is not a Singaporean dish .... Its from Hainan 🤦🏽‍♂️ ....

[@PeriyanayagiAmmanCreations]

Super😍😍😍👌👌👌👌👌👍👍👍

[@elizatscott]

Lovely recipe Jeremy and Thank you. I made it last night and it was a hit.

[@girliedog]

Your methods are so clear and this looks so delicious I must make this for Sunday dinner.

[@SchoolofWok]

This is a great alternative to a normal Sunday roast! - Lee

[@arela1030]

Wow one of my favorite dish 🌸💕Thank you so much for your yummy 😋 healthy menu 😋

[@SchoolofWok]

You're welcome!

[@gudrunwerner7848]

Thank you for the delicious recipes of chilli sauce and ginger dips. I love them to go with chicken. My friends abroad will enjoy your instructions too 🙏😋

[@SchoolofWok]

You're welcome!

[@MrEejal]

Bet the rice would even smells nicer with the addition of Pandan leaves. 👍👍 Thanks for sharing Jeremy!

[@SchoolofWok]

Give it a go and let us know what it's like! - Lee

[@MrEejal]

I tried the recipe over the weekend and it tasted almost exactly like the one by my favorite Hainanese chicken rice stall! I added the pandan leaves while sauteing the rice. 😁 Wished I could share the photos of the dish! Thank you guys!

[@solecurious1448]

Datok Rizal Magic of Hainanese chicken rice is the chilli. Pandan taste in the rice might musk the simplicity

[@พจน์บัวนาค]

ข้าวมันไก่ไหหลำเป็นอาหารไทย มีถิ่นกำเนิดในประเทศไทย แม้จะมีชื่อไหหลำต่อท้ายแต่เป็นอาหารไทยแท้ๆ สิงคโปร์รับข้าวมันไก่ไปจากไทย ถ้าสิงคโปร์แอบอ้างเอาข้าวมันไก่ไปเป็นของสิงคโปร์ก็เท่ากับสิงคโปร์ทำตัวเป็นขโมยเป็นโจร

[@zoeylau5770]

You should have held the chicken over the hot broth and then taken a ladle to pour the hot broth over the chicken until the skin tightened before immersing the chicken in the broth. This allows for a firmer tighter chicken.

[@SchoolofWok]

Thanks for the tip, we'll give it a go next time we make this! - Lee

[@daniellao2376]

@PumpkinsnBlackcats it shows how much u know about chinese cooking

[@user-di2on5gl2d]

Cooking this now for my Saturday brunch. 🧅🧄🍗🥢😋

[@rosshill2028]

A very populat Hainan chicken food stall in Singapore would serve their dish with a slice of tinned pineapple and the chili sauce thinned with chicken stock to make a dipping sauce.

[@SchoolofWok]

Interesting! - Lee

[@riffmeisterkl]

Some recipes won’t require frying off the ginger/green onion...you can just chuck it in the pot of water...

[@wnose]

Jeremy, may I suggest that you try poaching the chicken @ 80C for 60 minutes instead of full boil. (check for done-ness) I think you'll see quite a difference in the texture.

[@SchoolofWok]

I'll pass on the suggestion for you! - Lee

[@joshf-w9602]

PumpkinsnBlackcats yep tried with sous vide before, worked a treat

[@madthumbs1564]

Jeremy said boil no more than 20 minutes and turn the heat off. If it were boiling; it would have boiled over. When he shows it cooking; he shows it isn't boiling and calls it simmering no more than 20 minutes. His results didn't look dry, and his method wouldn't waste near as much heat. This turning the heat off method works great for pasta and eggs as well.

[@girliedog]

Simmering is always my preference, full boil seems so harsh.

[@zofobread]

PumpkinsnBlackcats If you sous vide you won't get the chicken stock, which is essential to cooking the rice.

[@maritesroldan8094]

Thanks for sharing.. God bless you..

[@SchoolofWok]

You're very welcome!

[@sellingtowinselling3876]

Nice one ,healthy cheap lunches from Singapore .never had it in years thanks J now I want to head back to Gaylang

[@whitemodelthree]

You forgot about the chicken sauce

[@ericarimbuyutan9063]

I shall try it, quite easy to make

[@SchoolofWok]

Let us know how it goes! - Lee

[@PhilTravel]

It's one of my all time favourite dishes too. Recently cooked chicken rice but with different style, as published on my KZbin channel just now. Perhaps, I'll try your recipe and method of cooking later.

[@felixfrost1564]

I like your accent

[@earlthesniper5263]

Thanks for the chilli sauce.... But Sad to say that the hainanese chicken rice of Singapore is really still far more inferior than those in Hong Kong and in Macau. But of course, thanks for sharing this.

[@MadeByTriniLena]

Amazing

[@rajeshsansbound6438]

Very easy and simple teaching. All the best. Best teachers are those that inspire the newbies to cook. Certainly not the ones that just concentrate on creating an awe

[@sunjay4685]

😋👌👌🙏 looks delicious

[@nsshamsul]

Hi Jeremy, my fathers recipe requires the chicken to first be scrubbed hella hard with salt so that it creates that smooth shiny sheen you see in hawker stores (after it’s cooked and dunked in an ice bath). I know other hawker shops in Singapore and Malaysia who swear by this step. Is there a reason you skipped this step? Do you reckon it doesn’t make much of a difference?

[@Good_Times_Factory]

You really make tthis look so easy I am going to try it. Very nice demonstration on carving the chicken. :)

[@SchoolofWok]

It's not too difficult! - Lee

[@thereIsaidit123]

Can I make this but with chicken deconstructed ? Meaning not whole ; with skin ofcourse :) please advise :) love your channel I have made a few of your recipes and they come out great !

[@SchoolofWok]

Absolutely, you'd need to adjust cooking times depending on how big your pieces of chicken are, though! - Lee

[@thereIsaidit123]

@@SchoolofWok would it be more time to cook ? Or less time to cook if I placed the chicken in pot deconstructed ? :)

[@scottbinnie9251]

Ggg obviously less

Lovely jobly...rite mate 🙏

Wow your food purveyors have the chicken sold with ankles and neatly tucked back into the chicken, everything really is different depending on where you go, im slowly realizing that now.

[@SchoolofWok]

It'll be different everywhere you go, it's not necessary to have the feed on the chicken still though! - Lee

[@MrAmbrosse]

You know your chicken stock is sad when you need chicken stock to make chicken stock.

[@sxstrngsamurai13]

Amazing video! Quick question from somebody still pretty new to using a Chinese style chef's knife. Which one do you recommend? I'm always a little wary of doing that trick of smashing the garlic/ginger to bits. I feel like my knife might snap. Is that something only done with the heavier guage knives?

[@SchoolofWok]

We recommend our brilliant own brand of cleavers (which we use in every video), here is a link to buy one! bit.ly/2K3IERV - Lee

[@GodGunsGutsandNRA]

Jeff Chiu Unless you have the cheapest knife ever made, you can do the smashing with a chef knife.

[@alanwang1513]

Très belle recette 👍

[@rizlanghazali985]

Pandan Leaf into the rice!

[@FahadTalib]

This is a must.

[@rowanadventures]

This looks lovely though is it traditional? I don't recall Hainanese chicken, whether it was made in Singapore or anywhere else, sautéed anything at the beginning. Nor did they add stock but rather cold water. And, though you trimmed the chicken at the beginning, you never gave it a rub with salt. Though you did mention this is your sisters recipe. It looks interesting. Love the chile sauce!

[@peewahlau9375]

❤yes, wow, you are so so authentic! Are you in Uk? It’s time to come over by to America, more specifically to the small growing city called Redding in California. We are north of Sacramento and this is the best location for healthy stfree and politic free living. Do come visit. We have free range chickens and sheep in our farm. Use our farm animals to showcase your God-given talent. Come visit and plant the first Hainanese chicken rice eatery!

[@masonyu5794]

I would not use as much water. Usually I put a cup of rice wine in lieu of all that water and 2 table spoons of honey.

Sounds like a nice addition! - Lee
