Chicken Rice Hainanese Style (Boiled Chicken Rice)

I love simple Hainanese style chicken rice or it's called"Pak Cham Kai" in Cantonese. Usually I steamed the chicken to retained the original flavourful and warm texture of the chicken but this time I want to try the method used by all the restaurant or hawker who sold Hainanese Chicken Rice.The key to cook this Hainanese chicken is to boiled and bathe chicken in ice-cold water till chicken is cold to create a tender,soft and springy texture.Hainanese style chicken is healthier than deep fry chicken. If you like steamed or boiled chicken,you might like this Hainanese Chicken,give it a try ,I assure you,you won't regrets!!
