Cooking the Hainanese Chicken Thigh


1. Defrost the chicken. Steam it for 8 to10 minutes.
    I chose to steam it for 20 minutes instead to be sure that the meat is
    readily cooked and tender.

 

2. Place the cooked chicken thigh on top of the rice and garnish it with spring onion. 

3. Pour the packet of sesame soya sauce over chicken. 


4. Serve the dish with the packet of garlic chilli sauce.
