Hainanese Chicken Rice is not from Hainan, China. It is actually a recipe conceived in Singapore (hence, it’s the national dish) with influences from Hainan.⁣
⁣
The dish was invented by Hainanese chefs who immigrated to Singapore in the late 19th century. They used the Hainan’s Wenchang chicken recipe with local Singaporean and Cantonese adaptations to create Singapore’s own version of chicken rice.⁣
⁣
So what's the difference? Singapore’s Hainanese chicken rice uses younger birds as they are more plump and tender. Apart from the difference in the age of the chicken, it also incorporates Cantonese cooking techniques to get the chicken even more juicy and tender. These techniques involved poached the chicken in chicken stock and then dipping it into ice water for tenderness and to achieve that jelly-like skin.
