Fried Chicken Rice


I was quite impressed with Hadi's dish today. I thought he would do another lazy dish and do a roast chicken or something. And initially, he did want to do that. But somehow or other, it runed into Nasi Ayam instead.

And not just any normal chicken rice. First, he boiled the chicken in water (along with a cube of chicken stock) until it was cooked, resefving the boiling water. After taking of the meat off the bones, he took the chicken, covered it in flour and (shallow) fried it in plain flour seasoned with salt. Doiung this made the chicken turn out nice and tender and crispy. The chicken stock water from earlier he used to cook the rice.

In the end, it turned out quite salty, though I didn't really mind that, haha. The rice was slightly salty, and the chicken pieces even more so. Unfortunately, it wasn't to poor Hadi's taste, who prefers things sweet, but Justin and I both agreed that it was Hadi's best dish. He seemed a little dejected at that, hahaha. But its a nice and easy dish (with just a little bit more effort than usual) and tastes wonderful as well. :D Although presentation-wise, it wasn't perfect looking, the taste more than made up for it. Only ... his methods of frying the chicken leaves a lot to be desired -_-; I have no idea where all the oil went >.<
