The Greatest Chicken And Rice Dish To Ever Live (Hainanese Chicken Rice)

We all love a healthy dish of chicken and rice...but there is a very specific kind that I think could end them all as one of the best in the game. I'm talking real deal Hainanese Chicken.

[@TheCharCzar]

Here's the instructions for anyone who wants it: 1. Remove excess skin and fat from chicken and set aside. 2. Cover chicken with a lot salt and massage the chicken. Rinse chicken completely. 3. Submerge chicken in large pot of boiling water. Skim scum off top. If after 5 minutes there’s a lot of scum, you can switch out for fresh water. 4. Once the water starts to boil again, reduce to a light simmer. Add one bunch of green onions cut in half, 6 whole cloves of garlic that has been peeled and crushed, and a 4 inch knob of ginger, thinly sliced. Add 1 oz of dried shiitake mushrooms. Season with salt and let simmer for 30 minutes. 5. Get excess skin and fat, cut into small pieces. 6. Heat large skillet over medium heat and coat the bottom of the pan in a neutral oil. 7. Once the oil is hot, toss in your skin and fat and cook until it has rendered off all of the fat, is golden brown, and is nice and cwispy. 8. Remove skin from the skillet, leaving the fat, and chop it very finely. 9. Add the fat back to the pan, turn the heat to medium, add a 3 inch knob of finely chopped ginger, 1 minced shallot, and three cloves of minced garlic. Season with salt, and saute until all the vegetables begin to soften. 10. Add two cups of WASHED RICE. Cook over medium heat for 30 seconds, stirring frequently, then add all of it to a rice cooker. 11. If chicken is ready, remove chicken and mushrooms from pot, place chicken in ice bath, rub it all over with sesame oil, and tent it with foil. 12. Add two cups of broth to the rice and cook to rice cooker’s specifications (6 minutes on high pressure, natural release for 10 minutes). 13. For chili sauce combine 3 tablespoons sambal, 1 tablespoon sriracha, 1.5 tablespoons sugar, the juice and zest of 1 lime, 3 cloves grated garlic, a 2 inch knob grated ginger, and 2 tablespoons chicken poaching broth. For the garlic ginger sauce combine 2 tablespoons oil, 2 tablespoon rice vinegar, 3 cloves garlic finely chopped, a 3 inch knob ginger finely chopped, and a pinch of salt. For the seasoned soy combine 1/3 cup dark soy sauce, 1 tablespoon honey, and 1 tablespoon sesame oil. 14. Fluff rice, ladle broth into bowl, serve meat, serve rice. Add thinly slice cucumber, sliced mushrooms, sauce on side. Devour that shit.

Aight, Singaporean here. For even softer, silkier chicken, once you've submerged the chicken, and the water comes back to a boil, just keep it simmering for 5 minutes, then turn off the heat and keep it there for 30 mins. The residual heat is sufficient. To make it real good, also reserve about a teaspoon of the aromatic chicken fat oil, and 2 tablespoons of the chicken broth, mix in 2 tablespoons of light soy, 1 teaspoon of sugar, and 1 teaspoon of sesame oil, and drizzle that shit over the chicken.

For me, with asian food, there's no the same taste. Every household have a different kind of taste to it. And it because alot of asian mom doesn't cook using a recipe. They just heard/read the main ingredients from someone else and tweak it following their taste. And i love it. The food became delicious no matter what. Except rice. You better cook it right.

Just be careful not to cook the chicken the same way he did, you gotta keep the temperature a fair bit lower so as to not dry out the chicken. Some of the more traditional ways of making it is literally just constantly pouring hot water over it. But it's probably easier to just get a thermometer

[@Celestetanrq]

One way is after boiling, put the pot into a magic cooker/keep warm pot. That way the water won't be too hot

Fun fact: Even though it's called Hainanese Chicken Rice, it's not really Hainanese in origin. It's called Hainanese Chicken Rice because it was first cooked by Hainanese immigrants in Singapore using local ingredients. If you have chicken rice in Hainan, it tastes completely different. One of the main components of Hainanese Chiken Rice is actually a common ingredient in South East Asia, the pandan leaf, which is not used in typical Chinese cuisines in Hainan.

What a great recipe! The condiments do differ from the ones at the Hawker centre. Like the chilli, there's no sambal in there and the dark soya sauce that it's usually served with is super thick and comes right out of a bottle. For extra flavour some stores will drizzle sesame oil on top of the whole dish. Thanks for representing a part of Singapore's Hawker culture ❤️

Which sambal are you thinking of. I'm pretty sure the one he's talking about is sambal oelek which is pretty much just chilies and a little acid. It's pretty much one of the only sambals I've seen people here in the us acknowledge. My malaysian mother associated sambal belecan for me

Hainan chicken is one of my absolute favorites, I can never get sick of it. For such a simple dish it’s honestly one of the most labor intensive dishes, largely due to making sure you control the heat perfectly while you are poaching it, it’s a long song and dance with removing the scum while making sure it doesn’t over cook right before shocking it into a freezing bath of ice water. Getting the texture right is the most challenging part!

I want to make it now and eat it now.. yummy yummy 😋

[@angela76]

This is the most popular thing I've made to date and everyone loves all of Josh's recipes I've made so far

[@nightmeow3434]

Finally! A recipe I can repeat! I'm so glad there is no goose fat or other hard-to-find ingredients.

Josh: *makes a very simple dish for like the first time* Me: *puts away beeswax and kitchen torch and oversized mallet and wheelchair for nursing the chicken back to health before cooking it*

[@cranknlesdesires]

Sometimes it be like that.

[@Breathlless]

As a Chinese person, chicken + rice and homemade soup is like the ultimate comfort food

Love your channel and congrats on your nomination!!

[@MandyFocus]

I was just saying to myself how I would love if B-Roll could be a little longer and also how cool some BTS of what it really takes to make a full video would be!! I am READY!!

[@xenogunner]

great to see our national food is featured on this channel :)

[@StockDoctortrade]

The best combination is cooking rice with the chicken for the best natural flavor possible

[@mirrortoyourweakness9769]

Such a simple dish but strangely so satisfying.

All you need to do now is Cơm tấm (Vietnamese broken rice dish) and I'll never need another KZbin channel in my life for my simple but wholesome rice dishes. Love you, love your work, love everything you do. - Some Aussie guy :)

[@ayanaknight9573]

This is a staple dish in Thailand as well and omg your method is so similar to my mom’s way of cooking this dish 💕

[@valencehockey1668]

*H-h-he-he cleaned the rice!!!*

[@elizabethingram9784]

Looks fabulous! Must try.

[@Haulsonabudget]

Thanks for the inspiration, you thought me a lot about cooking after been a junk food eater, i am now enjoying my own cooking based on your recipes :)

Nobody: Uncle Roger: "THIS RICE HAS 1% NOT ENOUGH WATER THIS IS A DISGRACE"

[@glenncross956]

HAIYAAAAA

[@biggdaddy202003]

Who the hell is Uncle Roger?

[@kameron1060]

@@biggdaddy202003 hes jus some dude that talks in an exaggerated asian accent and reinforces asian stereotypes. why people think hes funny/how hes so popular 🤷‍♂️

[@ChefBasicswithBaz]

And somehow people see as the gold standard of asian cooking....

[@kasiejakabcin3035]

He didn't use MSG, so Uncle Roger is already disappointed

[@carmenhoojiawen]

Never thought one day I'd witness Josh recreate our Malaysian gem (chef kiss hand) beautiful papa did well uwu

[@CamWattsYourProblem]

@@user-op8fg3ny3j it's not particularly known where specifically it originated. Pretty much all the south east asian maritime nations have a version but globally it's most commonly associated with Singapore much to Malaysia's annoyance. Especially because culinary/cultural power becomes more important on a global scale. The debate gets pretty heated, with the minister for tourism for Malaysia even weighing in, and scientific origin studies being paid for

[@amanda-es1wt]

@@user-op8fg3ny3j singaporeans and malaysians have very similar cultures and food. actually i think it’s the same. but if you wanna get technical hainanese chicken rice is a southeastern chinese dish

[@CamWattsYourProblem]

@@amanda-es1wt that's not technically the case. From what I understand the precursor or inspiration for the dish is from there but this dish is different enough to not be classed as from there

[@deehan001]

gonna try this today, thanks uncle Joshua for the tips

[@ldw1281993]

I've made Hainan chicken a couple of times and I like to pull things from multiple recipes and this is the first time I've added the dehydrated mushrooms and they should be a staple in this dish. Not only do they add great flavor to the broth but they also soak up all the delicious flavors off everything else and are practically exploding broth into your mouth when you eat them
