### Secrets to moist and tender chicken

Along with the supple skin which has a hint of golden yellowness to it, the perfect Hainanese chicken has to be moist in the inside. Hence, cooking the chicken according to the recommended time is important. The cooking process needs to be stopped immediately by transfering the chicken from the boiling pot of water to an ice bath. This is also create the delicious skin we all love with Hainanese chicken.

### How to add colour to Hainanese chicken?

The combination of salt and sesame oil helps to add colour to Hainanese chicken. The mixture should be applied once chicken is removed from ice bath. Some stall vendors would mix turmeric powder and warm water to pour over the chicken before the ice bath. This also adds colour to the skin.

### Is there a non-alcoholic substitute for Shaoxing wine?

No. Shaoxing wine is added for its sweetness. While most would advise some apple juice as substitute, I highly advise against it. Apple juice will spoil the taste of the dish, making it slightly tart in taste. If you do not want to have alcohol in this recipe, simply omit it as the main flavour in the gravy comes from the soy sauce and chicken broth. A teaspoon of oyster sauce can be added to better the flavours of the sauce.

### Chicken rice soup

The soup is one of the key side dishes to a complete Hainanese chicken rice meal. To enhance the sweetness of the soup, you may add radish or carrots, or both. A dash of white pepper would make a whole lot of difference to the taste. Cook this awesome dish for your family and friends. They will appreciate your effort and be impressed.

### Hainanese chicken rice for 2

If you are only cooking for one or two people, use chicken thighs instead of a whole chicken. Stuff the ginger and scallions between two chicken thighs and secure them with strings. Continue with the same cooking steps as below.
