Inspired by the famous Hainan chicken rice, this one-pot chicken rice is very easy to prepare and packed with aroma and flavour. A great dish for sharing.
Ingredients
Group 1: for the chicken
·         8 chicken drumsticks (see note 1)
·         1 teaspoon Shaoxing rice wine
·         1 pinch white pepper
·         3/4 teaspoon salt
·         1 stalk spring onion, chopped
·         2 slices ginger, julienned
Group 2 : for the rice
·         280g / 1.5 cups jasmine rice (or basmati rice)
·         1.5 tablespoons cooking oil
·         2 stalks spring onion, crushed

·         1 carrot, diced
·         1 pinch salt
·         530ml /2.25 cups water (see note 3) 
Group 3: for the sauce
·         2-3 teaspoons light soy sauce
·         1 teaspoon black rice vinegar
·         1 teaspoon fresh chilli, chopped (optional)
Instructions
1.    Use kitchen scissors to debone the drumsticks: cut around the knuckle. Insert scissors under the flesh and cut along the bone. Trim the remaining flesh from the bone (as shown in photos above).
2.    Marinate chicken pieces with Shaoxing rice wine, white pepper, salt, spring onion and ginger. Leave to rest for at least 10 minutes.
3.    Rinse rice under cold water. Soak for about 10 mins then drain.
4.    Heat up oil in a pot (or a deep frying pan). Fry spring onion and ginger until fragrant. Spoon half out into a small bowl for making the sauce later.
5.    Add rice, carrot and salt. Stir for a minute then pour in water. Place chicken pieces on top (Avoid overlapping). 
6.    Bring the water to a boil. Put the lid on then turn the heat down to the lowest. Cook for 15 minutes or so. Remove from the heat then let it stand for a further 5 minutes (see note 2 & 3).  
7.    While waiting the rice to cook, prepare the sauce. Add light soy sauce, black rice vinegar and chilli to the bowl which contains fried spring onion and ginger. Mix well.
