Chicken Rice is found in almost every food centre, hotel, school canteen and wet market in Singapore. It is one of the "National Dish" known for its fragrant rice, succulent chicken and signature ginger chilli. Although different stalls claim that they use "secret" ingredients that make them stand out from the rest of the competitors, I think they are all delisciously done. Then again, I'm not a fussy eater.
However, as the chicken rice prepared outisde contain a lot of fats and calories, naturally I would want to prepare this at home, this way I can choose to prepare the dish in a more 'artery'-friendly method. Today I prepared this dish using chicken thighs, but usually I like to discard the skin to cut down on the fats.
Our family likes to eat it with freshly cut shallots in oil (method to prepare included) as it lends extra "omph" to the taste.
