Hainanese Chicken Rice is usually represented by steamed chicken. However, roasted chicken is also an option for those who havenโt quite acquired the taste of traditionally steamed Chinese chicken yet. Some have found it to be a tad bland thus opting for the latter. Apart from the chicken, a typical plate of chicken rice consists of rice that has been cooked in chicken broth, chilli sauce made up of garlic, ginger, chicken broth and ground chilli and a bowl of chicken soup garnished with spring onions and white pepper.
