hainanese chicken rice
Feeling somewhat inspired by a cooking demo I attended last night, I decided to give the prima taste hainanese chicken rice recipe a try.
Momentary confusion when the recipe said I had to submerge the chicken into the soup "backside up" and briefly searched for chopped off butt and pondered ways to make chicken rear-end stay propped upwards.
Then realized it was "back side up" but that didn't help much either... since I didn't know the front of a naked headless and assless chicken from its back.
Eventually sorted out chicken anatomy. Otherwise, OK for a first attempt so far... the bird came out close to what its supposed to look like, apart from the chicken skin which got stuck to the bottom of the pot.
I think we'll be eating chicken rice for the next three days.

The back of the chicken is usually used to make broth and what not, so no need to add extra taste to it.
