Craving the classic flavors of Singaporean cuisine, but want an easier way to get dinner on the table? This Rice Cooker Hainanese Chicken Rice recipe is your answer!
Trim the excess skin from the chicken thighs. Turn on the rice cooker and add the chicken skin. Let the fat render out of the skin for about 7 minutes.
Add the garlic, ginger and the green parts of the scallions. No need to chop the scallions as they are just used for flavour. Let everything cook in the rendered fat for about 5 minutes.
Add the rice and mix everything together. Add the chicken stock. Overall you should be adding slightly less liquid than you normally would in a rice cooker as the chicken will also release a bit of liquid.
Lay the chicken thighs over the top of the rice. If you have a 'Chicken Rice' mode on your rice cooker, use that. Otherwise, leave to cook for up to 45 minutes until the rice is cooked. Check the chicken is done by poking it with a fork and checking for the juices to come out clear.
Plate up the chicken and rice, and garnish with the cucumber slices and coriander. Consider accompanying with our Chinese Scallion Sauce or Cucumber Onion Salad. Enjoy!
