    The chicken will not be enough to make extra soup sweet. Add 2 nos chicken carcass, clean, cut bite size, 1 or 2 big onion, chicken feet, cut half, chicken neck, gizzards, some dry cane tubes, Basil leaves. For the broth (2 hours). Broth basic seasoning: 1. Abalone sauce (2 Tbsp) 2. Rock Sugar (1 tsp) 3. Light soy sauce (2Tbsp) or salt (soup no color). Chicken stock can made noodles very delicious with green chives, green onion, bean sprouts, fried shallots & dash of white pepper powder (ajinomoto brand)

    Dry. Chicken not fat enough. 43mins too long for a small chicken. 40 mins AND turn off heat right after you dunk it and put a lid on it. The water to chicken ratio needs to be much larger. You are not getting the gelatin because your water is cooking out all that gelatin while it is at low simmer. Completely turn off water and use a much larger pot. Also using a freshly slaughtered chicken is key. Along with the par-cooked liver in chicken fat. Only fresh non chilled chicken has spring in the meat and sweetness in the meat , critical for chicken rice

    no chicken fat for the rice? No problem, just use chicken powder xD its more economical to use chicken powder if you are cooking at home. Other method would be frying off some wings or thighs and reserve the fat for the rice, then you would have some lovely pan fried chicken for snack. Also, I like to use a mixture of 1:1:1 (soy sauce, sesame seed oil, stock) for brushing the chicken and sort of a sauce over the chicken rice

    People who wash their chicken are weirdos. First off what does water do? And are you going to use soap which then goes in the chicken? If you gotta wash your chicken maybe you shouldnโ€™t eat it. Get good quality

    We chefs devote our time and basically our lives to our job and the food we make only to end up under-appreciated and some even under paid haha. The efforts you put into your videos are second to none, definitely worth my time . Nice to see cooking can be educative and informative this was so wholesome to watch

    As a Singaporean, well done Chef – this was really authentic and well researched, and looks delicious! Only gripe I have is right at the end when you ate it with chopsticks ๐Ÿ˜‚ nobody does that here, chicken rice and nearly all other Singaporean rice dishes are ALWAYS eaten with fork and spoon lol

    In my mind the gold standard is Adam Liaw's recipe/method for Hainanese Chicken and this one is right there! (If your cookbook shipped to Canada it would be… ๐Ÿ˜Š)

    Good job. You did your homework and cooked the chicken rice almost like the way the hainanese cooks it ๐Ÿ‘ this is how a cooking show should be. Introduce a dish, cooking it in the right way and show it to the viewers that not familiar with the dish. Not like some people completely changed the method and recipe.

    Nice mate! I've never had it without the dark sauce (kechap manis) as an option, whether hokka centre or home cooked. ๐Ÿ™‚ Am going to have to pick up some poultry hooks and cook it up this weekend.
