The ULTIMATE Sous Vide Hainanese Chicken Rice

Описание: Our biggest request was how to make Hainanese Chicken Rice in the sous vide - and the sous vide is definitely the right cooking apparatus for this. The sous vide allows us to get the chicken to the right tenderness and perfect texture while keeping in all the juices. Originating from Hainan, Hainan Chicken Rice is a popular dish in South East Asia. The chicken is moist and juicy and the chicken rice uses the rendered chicken fat and broth to impart a rich and deep flavor. It also comes with three signature sauces, ginger scallion sauce, chili sauce, and sweet dark soy sauce.

You can definitely make this dish with just the breast or legs cooking it to your desired temperature.
