Recipe Notes:

1. Ingredients – Use high-quality ingredients, including fresh chicken, ginger, garlic, and jasmine rice. Even though the authentic recipe is made with jasmine rice, you can also try white rice or basmati rice if that is handy for you
2. Perfect temperature – Make sure to cook the chicken to the right internal temperature of 165°F to ensure that it is safe to eat
3. The ice bath is a must – Allow the poached chicken to rest in an ice bath to prevent overcooking and to keep the meat juicy
4. Chicken fat – Use reserved chicken fat to sauté the rice for added flavor, and be sure to fluff the cooked rice with a fork or spatula to prevent clumping
5. Sesame Oil – Sesame oil is an essential ingredient in Hainanese chicken and rice, but it’s important not to use too much as it can overpower the dish. Start with a small amount and adjust according to your preference
