    … thanks for the cup explanation.. I cooked this dish for the first time last night by watching some other vid, and I cooked 3 cups of rice… except the cup I used was a regular cup measurement.. I ended up with a lot of rice

    Yum yum yum…another amazing taste experience for my family. I can hardly wait to share this! I think this will cause a spontaneous "food happy dance" at dinner time. Thank you, Flo and Dude, for sharing your love of food with us.

    Tried this. It doesn’t have the texture of what Hainan chicken is supposed to, so disappointing. It’s just typical boiled or steamed chicken.

    I wish my hubby can appreciate the simplicity of this dish like yours does. When I cook this at home, I feel inclined to cook something else on the side so we can both enjoy dinner. He asks if I'm making by boil chicken again 😂 but of course it's all worth it in the end.

    15mins on the instant pot on high pressure did NOT work for me (I had 4 chicken legs, approx 3 lbs total). It was very pink, and some parts were even translucent and clearly not cooked. I had to throw it in for an extra 10 minutes.

    Hi Flo, always love your recipes. I tried it today and this is what happen . The chickens are not "fully" cook inside and the rice is not as moist ( don't know why I follow every steps ) The difference is I only use 3 big drums . But overall taste not bad and the condiment sure make big flavour . I am using my 6 quart normal IP btw. I just want to share to others about the result not complaining. My picky man like the food which is awesome for me. 🙂 The deboning of the drum is not as easy and 'pretty' LOL. Next time I will try maybe increase few more minutes for the drums and more broth for the rice and hope it came out as yummy as yours. Thanks again for sharing this recipes as I really love dark meat too. See you.

    I made this today with drumsticks in the instant pot and it was one of the best things I’ve ever made. SO GOOD! The husband agrees. I’m already excited to make it again. Thanks for the recipe!!

    I have another question. Why do you think the Instapot uses its own measuring cup for the rice? Also, I will pay you $100 a cup for that broth. Do you ship? That stuff looks like liquid gold

    Yayyyy!! I LOVE your ginger peeling tip. I always learn such great things from your channel. I’m also super into dark meat too. What was the synonym you used for a sharpening the knives? Welcome home Dude!

    Great video! Do you have a recipe for the tangy chilli sauce that also comes with it at restaurants? or know of a commercially available one that's similar?

    Absolutely going to have to try this. It completely affirms something I've spent time digitally yelling at TV cooking competition Twitter accounts about, in that they're all trying to make it a "thing" that chicken skin has to be crispy or else it's disgusting. Masterchef UK, Masterchef AU, numerous YouTube "chefs", all saying the same thing. "Oh no, the skin isn't crispy, nobody can eat this dish." And they are WRONG! It's not a "thing". Thank you. This looks amazeballs!

    am I right in thinking the chicken is cold when you are putting it on the cucumber? This looks so yummy. I can't wait to try it! Dude, as usual, rocks "the taste." hahaha

    I just made this using your recipe and it was a HIT with the fam. We had to stop ourselves from eating it all so we can have leftovers for lunch tomorrow. I'm putting this in our regular meal rotation! I had no idea that ginger scallion sauce was so easy to make. No more paying extra for it at the chinese deli for me!
