what is the best chicken and rice dish and why is it the humble hainanese chicken rice?
>>21960266Doesn’t the skin taste gross since it’s poached instead of being seared or roasted? Is the fat properly rendered?
>>21960280it's chinese
>>21960266That looks like it would have an awful texture. Why don't Chinese people brown meat? They could at least sear the skin.
>>21960266I'd eat it. Probably doesn't taste like anything special but the chicken doesn't look dry and overcooked like breast usually is
>>21960266For me, it's chicken cacciatore. The best chicken dish
>>21960385it's poached so it's very tender and extremely moist. it is a very good and simple dish.
I should call her
>>21960266>the best chicken and rice dishchicken katsu
>>21960763Damn ill call after you do
>>21960280not if its sauced and spiced. that plain pink crap in OP must smell terrible
>>21960771Innies are winnies!
>>21960266Chicken mandi. Mandi of any kind is pretty good though.
>>21960266For me it is sweet n sour chicken. Or maybe General Tso chicken. Or maybe orange chicken. I love that Americanized chinese food chicken and rice. Fried rice. Now I have a craving boner. Good job, OP.
>>21960266They stole it from white people
>>21961074Your “white people” weren’t even eating chicken yet when it reached China in antiquity
The midwestern way.
>>21960266If this were Japanese, all the Americans would be jumping up and down saying how good it is. Just imagine the outcry and memes if it was invented by the Bongs? Here is my objective take on it:It doesn't look appealing, I don't care if the fat has been rendered or not (it seems to be a certain continent that complains about that). I'm not used to chicken skin being served that way but I would try it anyhow. Perhaps the simplicity is what makes it popular?It's not my 'cup of tea' but I won't knock it, until I've tried it.
>>21960266Not a huge fan of Hainan ji fan. It's got potential - even a quick trip under the broiler works wonders on it - but I'd take a biryani/pulao/locreo over it 7 days a week, twice on Sundays.
>>21961430My point is that it looks dreadful and underseasoned
NY-style halal chicken over rice with appropriate sauces.
>>21961797You're supposed to use the sauces that come with it on the side. Usually you get two. Have you never had a chicken and rice bowl?
>>21960266what a meme. soy sauce chicken mogs this shitt. gook
>>21961458Since the sauce recipe and the type of rice used differ from those in Japanese cuisine, anyone familiar with Asian cuisine will immediately realize that this isn’t Japanese food.
>>21960266>boiled unseasoned chicken >white rice>hecking chinese food is great
>>21960266and they say white people eat bland and gross looking food.
>>21962236>unseasonedIt's dry-brined, and then poached in rice wine (shaoxing) with soya sauce, and a bunch of scallion, ginger, and pandan leaves (at least in Singapore) and a bit of sesame oil. It's not sad boiled wypipo-eating-catfood chicken. The rice is done in the "broth" made from cooking the chicken with extra ginger, garlic, and some of the extra chicken skin and fat trimmings. It's not just some Minute Rice tragedy neither.It's not as boring as it looks, but it is better with a bit of a char or sear on the chicken skin and a bit of shallot in the rice. When I make it, I remove the skin after the chicken's done and pan fry it.

>>21960316>least sear the skin.there's a roasted version, but that's not the OG recipe.

>>21962358only the incel meme guy.he did not /ck/
>>21962238The white people will remove all the seasonings listed in >>21962321’s reply, add only salt and garlic to the boiling water, add thyme for some fucking reason, and then boil the rice separately instead of boiling it in the “broth”. Then serve it with none of the sauces and fucking steamed sad broccoli and call it “gym diet”.
>>21960266I thought this was a headcrab at first
>>21962321>seared white chickenThe entire point of the method is to get tmoist, juicy chicken and a very specific gelatinous skin texture that Chinamen crave
I've had it and it's quite good. Mogs most Chinese food you can get on the west coast actually.
>>21962399>seared white chickenDid you mean white meat chicken? Yeah, absolutely. Should be a whole chicken, or at least some dark meat in there too to fatten up the broth.I get the point of it. I'm just not Chinese enough to prefer chicken skin leather over something maillarded and crisp... so I'll underpoach a little bit and give it a trip under the broiler or torch, or just pull the skin off and crisp it up. The meat still winds up soft and juicy.
>>21960266Thought that was someone's fist
