This recipe is heavily inspired by a soy-glazed roasted version of a chicken dish which Chloe ate at a Hainanese chicken place in Kuala Lumpur. Now, this is in no way authentic, but you have got to try it.

    Added a carrot when the chicken was ready and then brocccoli alwhen adding the water to add some more veggies to the dish. Tasted great! Family didn’t really see added benefit/flavour of the sesame oil/spring onion condiment. Will make again!

    Bloody amazing recipe. We used chicken breast instead of thighs to make it slightly healthier. We also used half soy half honey to replace kecap menis. Next time would make slightly more broth but it was absolutely mega. Finished with crispy chilli.

    amazing recipe, full of flavours. i made only two portions so i scaled everything down, but i felt like there was not enough stock in the end for two people so next time i would make a bit more of it.

    When I say this dish is insane I mean it - perfect balance of flavours and great for winter. Easily my favourite mob recipe to date.

    Swapped rice for rice noodles and added some chilli oil - the gingery garlic broth is warming and delicious

    I was missing a few ingredients (kecap manis and ginger) so improvised a little but it was absolutely delicious!

    YUM!!!! I added a little rice vinegar, soy and MSG to the cucumbers for a little extra tang, and some crispy onions for an extra likkle crunch

    Lovely and feels really nourishing, I don’t think I like sambal so was slightly put off but my husband gave it 10/10

    This was really really delicious! I’d agree with one of the comments below that it would be helpful to have had a step or mention around cooking the rice. I think I might actually dice the garlic and ginger in the broth next time so that I can ladle those over within the broth - but this is because I really love strong garlic and ginger flavours :)

    Made using vegan chicken stock and a vegan chicken breast and was absolutely amazing. Comfy, filling, perfect amount of heat/unami/crunch. Cooked when I was feeling unwell and really helped :) 10/10 will be cooking again.

    Broth could’ve been more flavourful on my end but the chicken was delicious

    So delicious and easy! I did struggle with trying to crisp up the chicken vs keep the sugar of the kecap manis burning on the pan, so I made a a pan sauce at the end with the chicken fat, garlic cloves from the broth, left over marinade and some corn flour which I then poured over the chicken

    What is Kecap Manis? Just sweet soy sauce?

    Hi! Yes, its an Indonesian sweet soy sauce. It's thicker, a bit like a syrup consistency.
